Description
ParadeDB is Postgres for search and analytics. As Postgres continues to rise in popularity, the "Just Use Postgres'' movement is getting stronger and stronger. Yet there are still things that standard Postgres doesn't do well, and advanced search and analytics functionality is near the top of the list.
The ParadeDB team provides a pair of Postgres extensions. The first, pg_search, brings a more performant and full-featured search experience to Postgres. It uses Tantivy (think: Lucene but Rust) as the search engine and provides advanced ranking and querying functionality. The second, pg_lakehouse, allows you to perform large analytical queries over object store data. Together, these provide compelling new features wrapped in a familiar operational package.
Philippe Noël is one of the founders of ParadeDB. In this episode, we talk about why these extensions were needed, why the 'Just Use Postgres' movement exists, and where ParadeDB fits in your architecture.
