Built for real-time, update-heavy workloads. ## Get Started Please see our [documentation](https://docs.paradedb.com) to get started. You'll also find our [architecture](https://docs.paradedb.com/welcome/architecture) docs and [public roadmap](https://docs.paradedb.com/welcome/roadmap) there. ## Deploying ParadeDB ParadeDB and its extensions can be deployed in one of two ways: - Docker image based on [Postgres](https://hub.docker.com/_/postgres) ([see deployment instructions](https://docs.paradedb.com/deploy/aws)) - Kubernetes Helm chart based on [CloudNativePG](https://artifacthub.io/packages/helm/cloudnative-pg/cloudnative-pg) ([see deployment instructions](https://docs.paradedb.com/deploy/helm)) For more information, including enterprise features and support, please [contact us by email](mailto:sales@paradedb.com). ### Extensions You can find prebuilt binaries for the ParadeDB Postgres extensions on Debian 12, 13, Ubuntu 22.04 and 24.04, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9 and 10, and macOS 14 (Sonoma) and 15 (Sequoia) for Postgres 14+ in the [GitHub Releases](https://github.com/paradedb/paradedb/releases/latest). ParadeDB supports all versions supported by the PostgreSQL Global Development Group, which includes PostgreSQL 14+, and you can compile the extensions for other versions of Postgres by following the instructions in the respective extension's README. ### Docker Image To quickly get a ParadeDB instance up and running, simply pull and run the latest Docker image: ```bash docker run --name paradedb -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=password paradedb/paradedb ``` This will start a ParadeDB instance with default user `postgres` and password `password`. You can then connect to the database using `psql`: ```bash docker exec -it paradedb psql -U postgres ``` To install ParadeDB locally or on-premise, we recommend using our `docker-compose.yml` file. Alternatively, you can pass the appropriate environment variables to the `docker run` command, replacing the <> with your desired values: ```bash docker run \ --name paradedb \ -e POSTGRES_USER= \ -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD= \ -e POSTGRES_DB= \ -v paradedb_data:/var/lib/postgresql/ \ -p 5432:5432 \ -d \ paradedb/paradedb:latest ``` This will start a ParadeDB instance with non-root user `` and password ``. The `-v` flag enables your ParadeDB data to persist across restarts in a Docker volume named `paradedb_data`. You can then connect to the database using `psql`: ```bash docker exec -it paradedb psql -U -d -p 5432 -W ``` ### Helm Chart ParadeDB is also available for Kubernetes via our Helm chart. You can find our Helm chart in the [ParadeDB Helm Chart GitHub repository](https://github.com/paradedb/charts) or download it directly from [Artifact Hub](https://artifacthub.io/packages/helm/paradedb/paradedb). ### ParadeDB Cloud At the moment, ParadeDB is not available as a managed cloud service. If you are interested in a ParadeDB Cloud service, please let us know by joining our [waitlist](https://form.typeform.com/to/jHkLmIzx). ## Support If you're missing a feature or have found a bug, please open a [GitHub Issue](https://github.com/paradedb/paradedb/issues/new/choose).
