How It Works

ParadeDB integrates battle-tested Rust libraries for search and analytics inside Postgres, contributing upstream whenever possible. Our primary dependencies are:

• pgrx — bridges Postgres and Rust
• Tantivy — powers full-text search
• Apache DataFusion — handles OLAP processing

For a deeper dive, see our architecture docs or CMU Database Group talk.
