The Cofactr team got burned by MongoDB. They needed a database that was 1) reliable, 2) operationally simple and 3) could be self-hosted within AWS GovCloud. ParadeDB was a perfect fit, enabling them to consolidate search + OLTP in a single datastore.

I'm thrilled about this case study coming out. The Modern Treasury team have been an incredible design partner from the early days. They had very strict requirements around data freshness, and we're honoured to be the database powering many of their user-facing dashboards and endpoints.

1/3. A frequent question I get about ParadeDB is "Can it support distributed search?" Elasticsearch is sharded, after all? Starting today, the answer is yes: distributed search is now possible in Postgres thanks to ParadeDB x Citus.

What shocked me the most in the AI wave so far is seeing many smart people start to advocate for quantity over quality. In a world where so many can "make", quality is so clearly the defining factor. In fact, it seems obvious that AI will raise the bar for quality, not lower it.

ParadeDB is hiring more engineers to work on DB internals. We're headed towards v1.0 later this year, and have some really exciting projects coming up. There's still so much to build in Postgres. The technical bar is very high, and you'll get a lot of ownership. DMs open

I'm incredibly excited for this talk. Top K queries are the backbone of search engines, which have historically been NoSQL databases unable to execute JOINs. We're fixing this with ParadeDB. Highly recommend attending, I promise you'll learn something!

High-quality search is more than keyword matching. Personalization is what takes search from good to great. We're investing a lot in building the "unified retrieval stack" for Postgres this year. Expect lots of announcements. For now, here's how to build personalization today.

I saw this on LinkedIn and it was just too accurate to not share here. Postgres powers so much of the world's software yet the core team is a couple dozen people. The ecosystem around it is also surprisingly small for how far reaching it is.
