Simple, Elastic-quality search for Postgres
You want better search, not the burden of Elasticsearch.
ParadeDB is the modern Elasticsearch alternative built as a Postgres extension. It brings full-text, hybrid, and faceted search directly into PostgreSQL — no separate search system required.
Because ParadeDB is just Postgres, it can run as a logical replica of any managed Postgres instance or be installed within any self-hosted Postgres cluster. No new infrastructure, no sync pipelines, no eventual consistency.
Companies use ParadeDB to replace Elasticsearch, OpenSearch, and custom search stacks while keeping Postgres as their system of record. Explore customer stories to learn more.
