Transactions, real-time analytics, and agentic AI together in one sovereign AI data system.
EDB has acquired Altinity to bring together the two leading open source databases. Your agents, apps, and people act on all your data, in real time, anywhere it lives—secure, under your control, with world-class support for both Postgres® and ClickHouse® software.
AI agents don't run on fragmented architecture.
One workflow may need to transact, analyze, and act on the same business context, and fragmented architectures force a trade between speed, cost, scale, and control. IDC expects 60% of enterprise data platforms to unify workloads by 2029.
Now independent Postgres and ClickHouse software leaders are united to build one multi-model, sovereign AI data system. EDB is the #1 Postgres contributor and a Leader in The Forrester Wave™: Multimodel Data Platforms, Q2 2026. Altinity is the #2 company contributor to ClickHouse software.

Robert explains why agentic AI is pulling analytic and transactional data together, and why open source is the place to build.
Change the database: Two engineering teams on open source, hard forks, and sovereign data
Robert Hodges, Altinity · Max Romanenko, EDB
Some engineering principles survive every product cycle. When Robert Hodges of Altinity and Max Romanenko of EDB compared how their teams build, they kept returning to one: the code stays open, and the people running it must be able to change it.
Hear from our customers
“We work with EDB on our analytics data estate, including our Greenplum®-based warehouse, and a vendor’s commitment to open source matters to us. As our analytics needs move toward real time, that commitment is what gives us confidence to keep building with them.” — Seonghyun Hong, Manager, Platform Engineering Group, Samsung Electronics
“Jump Trading uses ClickHouse software with Altinity to move at the speed of markets, 24/7/365. Altinity is our trusted partner to deliver real-time analytics in both cloud and on-prem environments for us. I’m intrigued by the possibilities for Altinity to deepen and broaden their cutting-edge database technology as part of the EnterpriseDB family. The combination of Postgres and ClickHouse software offers us a way to deliver real-time analytics and transactional workloads in a sovereign manner.” – Alex Davies, Chief Technology Officer, Jump Trading
Postgres writes the record. ClickHouse reads it.
Everyone else starts from the lake. EDB starts from the database. EDB Postgres AI's analytics architecture uses ClickHouse software as its real-time engine, on one copy of the data and under one set of controls.
Postgres and ClickHouse software stays open. So does everything Altinity builds on it.
EDB acquired Altinity. ClickHouse, Inc. and the open source project are independent. We support the ClickHouse community. Open source is in our DNA, and our contributors will keep building it. Our commitments:
- ClickHouse software stays Apache 2.0.
- Altinity Stable Builds, the Altinity Kubernetes Operator for ClickHouse, and Project Antalya stay open source under Apache 2.0.
- The CLA and the RFC process stay unchanged.
- Altinity.Cloud customers keep their service, SLAs, and deployments.
- Upstream contributions continue.
