ParadeDB

Two weeks ago, we made TopK faster. This week, we made COUNT faster, and explored how real search workloads combine text with filters and sort orders. www.paradedb.com/blog/opening...

Two weeks ago, @planetscale.com launched TIN. They benchmarked it against us, and it was very fast. So we spent those two weeks making ParadeDB faster without their tradeoffs. Today, we are faster than TIN. www.paradedb.com/blog/opening...

ParadeDB is now available as a plugin on Cursor's plugin marketplace:

You have a product, and it needs search. You have agents, and they need retrieval. We're building ParadeDB Cloud for you, so you can focus on shipping: one Postgres for your data, full-text search, vector retrieval, and aggregations. Waitlist open now: paradedb.com/cloud/

To explore how methodology can color results we used our open-source benchmarker to compare ParadeDB and Postgres FTS three times. - P1 (1 term, closed loop): within 10% - P2 (40-term rotation): 29x throughput - P3 (open loop @ 50 QPS): 47x P99 www.paradedb.com/blog/benchma...

ParadeDB and Render have teamed up to offer one-click deployments. www.paradedb.com/blog/render

Today we open sourced @paradedb.com Benchmarker, a workload agnostic benchmarking runner built on top of #grafana #k6. Supports PostgreSQL, Elasticsearch, OpenSearch, ClickHouse, MongoDB, and ParadeDB. blog: paradedb.com/blog/what-we... repo: github.com/paradedb/ben...

ParadeDB and Railway have teamed up to offer one-click deployments. www.paradedb.com/blog/railway

We’re proud to partner with Cofactr to power intelligent sourcing and search across their end-to-end electronics purchasing platform. www.paradedb.com/customers/ca...

The ParadeDB project has officially reached one million Docker pulls. We're grateful to all our users and customers for the journey so far.

We’re proud to be partnering with Modern Treasury to deliver fast, accurate search across their suite of money movement UIs and APIs. www.paradedb.com/customers/ca...

Full-text search was solved in 2016, Lucene had owned the space for a decade. Rewriting it in Rust, as a side project, on a plane sounds like a terrible idea. Enter Paul Masurel and Tantivy ... www.paradedb.com/blog/tantivy...

We're proud to partner with Terrapin to improve the search experience on their bond platform. www.paradedb.com/customers/ca...

On March 31st, @stuhood.sh will be speaking about how ParadeDB performs native Top K JOINs at South Bay Systems. We look forward to seeing you there: luma.com/2g3exvjw?tk=...

Top K is a deceptively hard problem in Postgres. "Give me the 10 best rows" works until you add filters and text search, then GIN can't sort and B-trees can't search. BM25 indexes handle equality, sort, and range in one data structure. Here's why that matters: www.paradedb.com/blog/optimiz...

ParadeDB is now supported on NixOS. #nix

It is now possible to reference the ParadeDB Skill directly via npx:

We're launching Agent Skills and MCP Server for ParadeDB. These will empower your AI coding agent to produce top-notch, accurate ParadeDB code effortlessly. For Skill, go to: github.com/paradedb/age... For MCP:

Ankit (ex-Instacart) shows us how to build personalized search entirely inside PostgreSQL. A search for “king” could mean LOTR: Return of the King or The King’s Speech. To fix that: • Retrieve with BM25 • Rerank with embeddings + cosine similarity www.paradedb.com/blog/persona...

As part of our v0.20.0 release late last year we did a lot of work on increasing write throughput. Adding any index to a Postgres table trades off write speed for read speed, and BM25 indexes aren't any exception. So we set out to make things better .... www.paradedb.com/blog/increas...

Faceting looks simple, it's just counts next to search results right? But making it fast and ergonomic is harder than it seems. We just shipped native faceting in ParadeDB: it runs inside Postgres, in a index single pass, and is 14× faster over large result sets👇 www.paradedb.com/blog/faceting

We've shown you parts of our V2 SQL API over the last month, but here's a full post looking at everything you can do with it. Check out the side by side of the CREATE TABLE for old and new APIs, it's so much better ❤️. www.paradedb.com/blog/v2api

We're excited to announce the release of v0.20.0. This release brings: - Official support for accelerated facets in ParadeDB - An order of magnitude improvement to our write throughput - A brand new SQL interface that's more SQL-native and ORM-friendly www.paradedb.com/blog/paraded...

Sometimes it can be hard to work out how to assemble the LEGO to get search working in Postgres; so we wrote the Missing Manual for Hybrid Search. If you're after a little bit of lexical, and a little bit of semantic, this is for you. www.paradedb.com/blog/hybrid-...

We've got a new post out that looks at tokenization pipelines (with some cool interactive diagrams). www.paradedb.com/blog/when-to... Bonus points for anyone who guesses why the original title was "When Tokenization Becomes Token"

A fantastic podcast by our engineer, Ankit Mittal, on how Instacart built search on Postgres, where the future of search infrastructure is going, and why that led him to join us at ParadeDB: www.youtube.com/watch?v=hohp...

People who use Elasticsearch fall into two camps: those who know it shouldn’t be used as a source of truth, and those who haven’t thought it through… Seriously though, if you use Elastic as a database, we’d love to hear about it. www.paradedb.com/blog/elastic... #elasticsearch #database #search

We’ve worked with 50+ companies syncing Postgres with non-Postgres sinks like Elasticsearch. Our latest post is a deep dive into how Postgres → Postgres differs from Postgres → anything else. www.paradedb.com/blog/etl_vs_...

We're proud to be partnering with Bilt to improve the member search experience with minimal infrastructure overhead. www.paradedb.com/blog/case_st...

ParadeDB has raised a $12M Series A to bring Elasticsearch workloads to Postgres. Read it on TechCrunch: techcrunch.com/2025/07/15/p...

The ParadeDB BM25 index brings Elastic-style full-text search to Postgres, powered by our custom Postgres-native LSM tree. Dive into how we built it: www.paradedb.com/blog/lsm_tre...

Exciting news! We've partnered with Neon, one of the largest managed Postgres providers, to bring ParadeDB to their platform. As of this morning, pg_search is now live on Neon!

ParadeDB is now integrated with Postgres block storage. Today, we are releasing Part 1 of our 3-part blog series on how we designed a new storage mechanism for search and analytics in Postgres. www.paradedb.com/blog/block_s...
