<p># Our funding announcement</p><p>Postgres is the only database you need.</p><p>The reason DBs like Mongo or Dynamo exist is because Postgres has a scaling problem. If you could make it just work, with 100 TB+ tables and 1M queries per second, we don’t think you would use anything else.</p><p>This is why we are building PgDog. Same old Postgres, just with a proxy in front of it, to make it horizontally scalable.</p><p>You can deploy PgDog anywhere, including on-prem and in your cloud account: pull our Docker image, change your `DATABASE_URL`</p><p>, and make us do the work.</p><p>## Our status</p><p>PgDog is serving more than 2M queries per second, in production, across dozens of deployments. We sharded over 20 TB that we know about.</p><p>PgDog is open source and anyone can just deploy it, and they do: we have over 1.4M Docker pulls on GitHub.</p><p>A new version comes out every week, on Thursdays. Our Discord community is growing. We are there, every day, to answer questions and provide support.</p><p>## Why us</p><p>PgDog is a small, three-person startup. So, why use our stuff and trust us with your data?</p><p>We are infrastructure engineers, application engineers and generalists. We built apps on Postgres before it was cool and made it work at massive scale.</p><p>I ran Postgres at Instacart, where we scaled the company 5x in April of 2020. The biggest problem we had was making Postgres serve 100,000s of grocery delivery orders per minute.</p><p>We sharded Postgres on RDS, Aurora and EC2. We fixed the actual problem, using first principles (and a lot of code).</p><p>The same technology is now available as an open source product.</p><p>Building PgDog is not a pivot. For us, scaling Postgres has been, and is, the only goal.</p><p>We built PgDog to run in your cloud, in your colo rack, on-prem, or on your laptop. Wherever you need it, PgDog works, with no dependencies or hidden serverless costs. If you can provide CPUs, our multithreaded code will use them all.</p><p>Postgres adoption is only going to increase. With $5.5M from Basis Set, YC, Pioneer Fund and other great investors, we have years of runway, and we are going to make Postgres just work, for everyone, at any scale.</p><p>– Lev</p><p>P.S. We are building an Enterprise edition of PgDog to make it easier to run in AWS. It comes with SLA-backed support from our team. Give us a call if you want to try it out.</p><p>## More info</p><p>- Read our docs to get started with PgDog<br>- Star our repo and follow it for weekly releases<br>- Join our Discord to get to know us better</p>
