Let's go. Very bullish on PgDog. Lev understands this space better than anyone else. If you are sharding Postgres, you should talk to him.

I've been wanting this for so long. This is so clever.

Slightly concerned Apple would patch this by preventing others from using the same bundle identifier as their official apps, though?

Writing code was never the job. Writing code was always a means to the job. This is why people hire "software engineers", not merely "programmers".

ParadeDB maintainer here :). We would happily make it available on Azure (and all other cloud providers!) if there were a way for us to earn a living in doing so.

Fyi, we are in discussion with some hyperscalers on making this possible.

ParadeDB (YC S23, https://paradedb.com) | Database Internals Engineers, Distributed Systems Engineers | Remote or hybrid in San Francisco | Full-time

ParadeDB is a Postgres extension that delivers state-of-the-art search in Postgres. Our customers, including Alibaba Cloud, BILT Rewards, Modern Treasury (YC S18), and many others, rely on us to deliver the performance and feature set of dedicated vector databases/Elasticsearch natively in Postgres, simplifying their stack and day-to-day operations.

If you like systems, this might be for you. We're a team of 10, a Series A company based in SF but distributed across North America. We're hiring for database internals work (e.g., building the database in Rust) and distributed systems work (e.g., building the database-as-a-service platform in Go).

We're open-source at https://github.com/paradedb/paradedb.

This a 100 times^. The Postgres ecosystem is remarkable and has managed to strike the balance between OSS and commercial successes in a way that most infra verticals have not.

We (ParadeDB) use Barman via CloudNativePG for almost all our deployments. It's been solid, although I've had a few complaints about 1) inability to set S3 storage classes, 2) slow upload for very large databases.

Nonetheless, very happy to see this project on the front page of HN!

https://github.com/paradedb/paradedb -- Full-text & vector search natively in Postgres

that looks really cool. do you plan on building a docker image like pgvector does?

Good catch, thank you both -- fixed!
