⁠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.
