Self-Hosted ParadeDB
For hobby, development, or staging environments, ParadeDB Community can be deployed as a Docker image, inside Kubernetes, or as an extension inside an existing self-hosted Postgres. For production environments, we recommend deploying the ParadeDB Enterprise binary inside Kubernetes. This unlocks support for logical replication and high availability, which must be configured separately.Running ParadeDB Community in a production application that serves paying customers is discouraged.This is because ParadeDB Community does not have write-ahead log (WAL) support. Without WALs, data can be lost or corrupted if
the server crashes or restarts, which would necessitate a reindex and incur downtime for your application. For more details, see guarantees.When you are ready to deploy in ParadeDB to production, contact us for access to ParadeDB Enterprise, which has WAL support.
