PostgreSQL Compatibility and Cloud Native Architecture are Critical
11
Can use PostgreSQL client
drivers and psql shell
Parse PG syntax - but
execution is different
Syntax
Supports some advanced
PG features - but they
will work differently
Feature
Exactly like Postgres. Port
over all existing apps, PG
developers instantly at
home.
Runtime
Wire
How much Postgres
compatibility?
How cloud native
(distributed) is the
architecture?
Cannot deliver high data
durability, availability,
scale, best in class DR
Low
Delivers data durability and
some vertical scale. Weak
HA, horizontally scale, DR
Medium
High data durability,
availability, scalability, DR,
multi-region
High
Can benefit from Postgres innovation (like
pg_vector for gen AI, QoS for multi-tenancy,
etc.)
Can innovate on
distributed, cloud
native architecture
(like zero downtime,
global apps, fast auto-
scaling, connection
scaling, etc.)
Can innovate on both
dimensions
PG Innovation Threshold
Cloud DBMS Innovation Threshold
