ParadeDB

Adds fast keyword search, meaning-based search and analytics to the Postgres database.

New this week

What it does

Postgres is a widely used database. ParadeDB is an add-on that lets it do full-text search (like a search engine) and vector search (searching by meaning, often used in AI apps) without a separate search system.

It also adds hybrid search that mixes both, plus filters and fast number-crunching over large data. Everything is done with standard SQL, the usual database language.

The open-source version can be self-hosted, and the makers also offer a managed cloud service.

Who it's for

Developers and database teams adding search to their apps, including AI-powered search.

Can I use it without coding?
