Great Performance: Hardware Fully Harnessed
Highlights amazing scalability and top-tier hardware performance.
Maximizing the potential of modern hardware with optimized configurations.
- Single-node query rate reaches 2 million rows/second
- Single-node write rate can reach 1 million rows/second
- Default table size limit: 32TB (2^32 x 8KiB Page)
R/W Separation: Unlimited Read Scaling
Offers unlimited replicas through cascading replication with auto traffic routing.
Scale read workloads horizontally without impacting write performance.
- Read-only Service: Route to read-only replicas with primary as backup
- Offline Service: Route to special analytics instance with replicas as backup
- Production Case: One primary with 34+ replicas through cascading bridges
Connection Pooling: High Concurrency
Built-in PGBouncer connection pool, ready out of the box and syncing with postgres.
Handle thousands of concurrent connections efficiently with resource optimization.
- Xact pooling converts 20000+ client connections to several active server connections
- Enabled by default, automatically syncing db/user with postgres
- Deploy multiple pgbouncer instances to circumvent bottlenecks
Load Balancing: Traffic Control
Monitor and schedule request traffic in real-time with HAProxy console.
Intelligent traffic distribution with health checks and failover capabilities.
- Stateless HAProxy can be scaled at will or deployed on dedicated servers
- Weights can be adjusted via CLI, draining or warming up instances gracefully
- Password-protected HAProxy GUI exposed uniformly through Nginx
Horizontal Scaling: Distributive Extension
Citus extension with multi-write and multi-tenant capabilities.
Scale beyond single-node limitations with distributed PostgreSQL.
- Accelerate real-time OLAP analytics using multi-node parallel processing
- Shard by row key or schema, supporting multi-tenant scenarios
- Online partition rebalancing, adjusting throughput capacity
Storage Expansion: Transparent Compression
Achieve 10:1 or even higher compression ratios with columnar and other exts
R/W data in S3 with FDW, hot/cold separation and unlimited capacity expansion
- Use timescaledb, pg_mooncake, pg_duckdb for columnar compression
- Use duckdb_fdw, pg_parquet, pg_analytics to read/write object storage tables
- Expand or contract storage with S/H RAID, ZFS, and PG tablespaces
Mass Deployment: Large clusters made easy
Designed for extreme scale - flexible for 25K vCPU clusters or 1c1m node
No limit on nodes per deployment - soft constrained only by monitoring capacity
- Batch Ops at scale through Ansible, saying goodbye to console ClickOps
- Largest production deployment record: 25,000 vCPU, 3,000+ instances
Elasticity: Cloud-like Elasticity
Supports cloud EC2 deployment, fully leveraging the elastic advantages of cloud
Flexible multi-cloud strategies - enjoy RDS elasticity with EC2/EBS prices
- Pigsty only needs cloud servers, works the same across any cloud provider
- Seamless switching between public, private, hybrid, and multi-cloud
- Scale compute and storage as needed
