Just use Postgres for Everything

Distributed OLTP | Analytics on latest transactions | AI

We are building a reliable distributed storage layer for Postgres.
Run multiple stateless read-write replicas over shared data with ACID transactions support.

Power AI, transactions, analytics, semantic search without being a Data Engineer

You don't need a collection of specialty databases, complex ETL pipelines and a team of Data Engineers. Modern Postgres supports everything you need to execute your query.
It was just missing a modern storage layer (externally consistent distributed transactions + Raft + RocksDB). WAL files as a single source of truth.

Built on unmodified Postgres

Not just implementing Postgres wire protocol or PostreSQL syntax, not just Postgres-"compatible" - it IS Postgres.

We know how costly and painful it is to replace your application's OLTP layer, so we made sure the Postgres query execution remains unchanged. migration without surprises.

Compute instances support entire Postgres ecosystem and extensions like PostGIS, pg_vector, pg_trgm, pg_duckdb.

Instant point-in-time recovery, branches

Create and scale compute Postgres nodes on-demand

0 ETL

Storage failover, replication and sharding built in

Open source and managed service

Coming soon. Join the waiting list

Our goal

Building a plug & play solution for Developers (or AI agents) to create/destroy databases on demand and store/query data without any data engineering or any database administration knowledge.

Current cloud providers optimize for goals and workloads of the richest customers.

Distributed transactions, efficient Postgres page compression, column store, hybrid query execution, convenient Python UDFs - that's our opportunity to bring simple and accessible data platform for You.
