Decision brief

ParadeDB is an extension to PostgreSQL designed for integrating full-text search, vector retrieval, and aggregation functionalities.

Good fit when

  • Use ParadeDB when you need a unified database solution that supports both transactional operations and analytical processing within the same environment (HTAP).
  • If your application requires real-time analytics alongside traditional SQL operations, ParadeDB can be an ideal choice due to its support for full-text search and vector retrieval.

Avoid when

  • Avoid using ParadeDB if your project strictly adheres to permissive licensing, as it is under AGPL-3.0 which imposes copyleft obligations.
  • Do not opt for ParadeDB when you specifically require a standalone full-text search solution like Elasticsearch that offers more specialized features out-of-the-box.
Pricing:
freemium - ParadeDB Community is available under AGPL-3.0 for free, but commercial use may require contacting sales for enterprise licensing options.
Requirements:
Requires Docker
