Accelerate analytical query performance on Postgres without impacting your transactional workloads.

Seamless lakehouse integration


EDB Postgres AI augments standard Postgres with columnar querying capabilities and object storage integrations, so you can continue using the familiar Postgres interface for both transactional and analytical workloads. It also reduces fragmentation and dependencies on other external systems.

Fast analytical queries


Instead of using the standard Postgres query engine, EDB Postgres AI leverages a vectorized query engine — powered by the PGAA extension — that is optimized for columnar data formats. This allows analytical queries to run 30x faster, on average, compared to standard Postgres.

Single data platform


A dedicated node replicates Postgres data to lakehouse tables in object storage using columnar open table formats. This provides better performance for analytical queries against operational or transactional data directly within Postgres, eliminating the need for separate analytical engines and complex ETL pipelines.

Analytics use cases
enabled by EDB Postgres AI

Customer 360


Achieve comprehensive customer insights with transactional, analytical, and AI data stores unified in a single Postgres environment instead of fragmented across disparate systems—and query all of it with 30x the speed of standard Postgres. Directly impact the bottom line with faster, better decisions driven by holistic customer data.

Dynamic Analytics


Query and view real-time and historical data on the fly without bloating storage costs or compromising performance. Tiered tables automatically offload less frequently used data into efficient columnar formats in object storage—drastically simplifying the complexity of managing multiple data tiers, boosting query speed, and improving cost efficiency.

Operational Analytics


Run high-performance OLAP queries over operational data without impacting ongoing transactional workloads. Rather than competing for resources with OLTP processes, provision separate analytics nodes that scale up seamlessly to meet complex query demands and scale back down to zero when not in use — ensuring live business operations are uninterrupted.
