Contents
Just use Postgres.
One Postgres for your application data, full-text search, vector retrieval, and aggregations.
Website • Docs • Community • Blog • Changelog
Installation
To run ParadeDB locally with Docker and open a psql session:
curl -fsSL https://paradedb.com/install.sh | sh
When you’re ready to deploy, get started on ParadeDB Cloud for a fully managed experience, or explore our self-hosted deployment options.
What is ParadeDB?
ParadeDB upgrades Postgres with a custom index for fast full-text and vector search, BM25 scoring, filters, facets, aggregations, and joins. Built as a Postgres extension, it keeps your application data and search engine in one database with standard SQL and ACID transactions.

How It Works
ParadeDB integrates battle-tested Rust libraries for search and analytics inside Postgres, contributing upstream whenever possible. Our primary dependencies are:
- pgrx — bridges Postgres and Rust
- Tantivy — powers full-text and vector search
- Apache DataFusion — handles OLAP processing
For a deeper dive, see our architecture docs or CMU Database Group talk.
Integrations
ParadeDB integrates with the tools you already use, with more on the way.
ORMs & Frameworks
- Drizzle
- Django
- SQLAlchemy
- Rails
- EF Core
