ParadeDB takes on Elasticsearch as interest in Postgres explodes amid AI boom | TechCrunch
Briefly

ParadeDB is a new open-source extension for Postgres designed to enhance search and analytics functionality directly within Postgres itself. This eliminates the need for data transfer to external services. Founded in 2023, the platform addresses limitations with traditional Postgres search capabilities identified by its co-founders, who experienced these challenges in their previous startup. ParadeDB integrates seamlessly with various data tools such as Google Cloud SQL and Amazon RDS, offering a more efficient solution for managing heavy workloads and frequent updates.
Postgres is becoming the default database of the world, and you still can't do good search over that information, believe it or not. There's just a lot of pain points.
ParadeDB claims to eliminate a lot of those challenges by building as an extension on top of Postgres directly, no data transfer required.
