Introduction to pgEdge
pgEdge is a fully distributed PostgreSQL database that delivers low-latency access, ultra-high availability, and addresses data-residency requirements. Multiple nodes in a pgEdge cluster support both read and write operations, making it a true multi-master (active-active) system.
Because pgEdge is 100% pure PostgreSQL, many applications can run on pgEdge without any modifications. PostgreSQL extensions that you know and love are available for pgEdge. pgEdge stays up-to-date with the latest PostgreSQL releases, ensuring that all the most recent enhancements in each release are available.
Deployment Options
For self-hosted Cloud and on-prem Installations, pgEdge Platform offers the flexibility to simply and quickly deploy distributed multi-master clusters with containers/VMs or CLI/API installers and tooling. For web and AI applications that rely on Postgres for low latency and high availability, pgEdge distributed PostgreSQL running on the Cloud can ensure your applications are highly available and globally responsive. You can seamlessly deploy pgEdge Platform on:
- Akamai (opens in a new tab)
- AWS
- Azure
- Equinix (opens in a new tab)
- Google Cloud
... and more.
Containers and VMs pgEdge container images (opens in a new tab) are designed to run on any modern container platform, including:
- Docker
- Kubernetes
pgEdge CLI: For those who prefer to self-manage, the pgEdge CLI (opens in a new tab) offers all the features of pgEdge Distributed PostgreSQL for use in any data center or cloud account. The CLI is suitable for both development and production environments, with enterprise support plans available.
pgEdge Cloud: pgEdge Cloud (opens in a new tab) is a fully managed Database-as-a-Service (DBaaS), handling everything from provisioning to security and monitoring. Cloud is accessible via a web dashboard, CLI, and API, and available for AWS, Azure, and GCP.
There are two editions of pgEdge Cloud. In Developer Editions, pgEdge runs the underlying cloud infrastructure in its own cloud accounts, allowing customers to quickly provision databases with a serverless approach. In Enterprise edition, customers use pgEdge Cloud to provision clusters and supporting infrastructure into their own cloud accounts, also known as Bring Your Own Account (BYOA).

Distributed Postgres is made possible by using logical replication to distribute changes amongst database nodes. pgEdge developed the Spock PostgreSQL extension for this purpose. Learn more about Spock at the pgEdge blog site. (opens in a new tab)
