Our funding announcement
Postgres is the only database you need.
The reason DBs like Mongo or Dynamo exist is because Postgres has a scaling problem. If you could make it just work, with 100 TB+ tables and 1M queries per second, we don’t think you would use anything else.
This is why we are building PgDog. Same old Postgres, just with a proxy in front of it, to make it horizontally scalable.
You can deploy PgDog anywhere, including on-prem and in your cloud account: pull our Docker image, change your DATABASE_URL , and make us do the work.
Our status
PgDog is serving more than 2M queries per second, in production, across dozens of deployments. We sharded over 20 TB that we know about.
PgDog is open source and anyone can just deploy it, and they do: we have over 1.4M Docker pulls on GitHub.
A new version comes out every week, on Thursdays. Our Discord community is growing. We are there, every day, to answer questions and provide support.
