With over two decades of expertise in Postgres, we are committed to sharing our knowledge, advancing database technology, and engaging with the open-source community. That’s why we’re proud to be a top sponsor of PG Day Paris—an event that brings together the brightest minds in the Postgres ecosystem.
PG Day Paris is more than just a conference; it’s a meeting ground for engineers, developers, and industry leaders who are shaping the future of open-source databases. As a key player in the Postgres community, EDB consistently contributes cutting-edge solutions and thought leadership to help organizations maximize the potential of PostgreSQL.
EDB’s Sponsor Talk: Pushing the Boundaries of Vector Search with PGD and aidb
With the rise of AI-driven applications, the need for scalable vector search has become more pressing than ever. While pgvector has enabled PostgreSQL to support vector embeddings, a single database server can only scale vertically—just like the Eiffel Tower, no matter how impressive, it has its limits.
PostgreSQL Solutions Architect Boriss Mejías, will dive deep into scaling vector search in Postgres in EDB’s sponsor talk: Distributed Vector Database with aidb and PGD.
In this talk, Boriss will explore how Postgres Distributed (PGD) enables horizontal scalability for vector search. PGD’s bi-directional replication provides a foundation for distributing workloads across multiple nodes, improving both performance and resilience. EDB’s aidb extension enhances pgvector, simplifying data embedding and optimizing search retrieval. This combination of technologies offers a promising approach to overcoming the challenges of massive-scale vector search.
Boriss is a seasoned PostgreSQL Solutions Architect at EDB with extensive experience in distributed self-managing systems. Before joining EDB, Boriss worked as a PostgreSQL Consultant and Trainer at 2ndQuadrant, further honing his expertise in database architecture and performance tuning. Boriss is passionate about engaging with the open-source community, particularly through the PostgreSQL User Group in Belgium.
Attendees will gain insights into the technical architecture, challenges, and trade-offs of this approach, leaving with a deeper understanding of how to implement scalable, high-performance vector search in PostgreSQL.
