ParadeDB

Postgres for Search and Analytics

Website • Docs • Community • Blog • Changelog

This repository deploys ParadeDB on Render with one click using a Render Blueprint.

What You Get

  • The official ParadeDB Docker image
  • A private service that isn't exposed to the public Internet — only accessible within your Render private network
  • 10 GB of persistent SSD storage via Render Disks, mounted at /var/lib/postgresql
  • Auto-generated secure database password
  • Auto-deploy on push — your service redeploys whenever you push changes to your fork

Deployment

One Click

Use the button below to deploy ParadeDB on Render.

Deploy to Render

This will:

  1. Create a private service named paradedb running the ParadeDB Docker image.
  2. Attach a 10 GB persistent disk for your database data.
  3. Set up POSTGRES_USER, POSTGRES_PASSWORD, and POSTGRES_DB environment variables automatically.

Manual

  1. Fork this repo.
  2. Create a new Private Service on Render.
  3. Connect your forked repo and use the Dockerfile runtime.
  4. Add a Disk mounted at /var/lib/postgresql with at least 10 GB.
  5. Set the following environment variables:
    • POSTGRES_USER — database user (e.g. postgres)
    • POSTGRES_PASSWORD — a strong password
    • POSTGRES_DB — database name (e.g. paradedb)

Connecting

Once deployed, connect from any other service in your Render private network:

psql -h paradedb -U postgres -d paradedb

To connect from your local machine, add an SSH key to Render, connect to the SSH endpoint, then run:

psql -U postgres paradedb

Configuration

Render Plan

The default render.yaml uses the standard plan. To change it, edit the plan field in render.yaml:

plan: standard # Options: starter, standard, pro, pro plus, pro max, pro ultra

Disk Size

The default disk size is 10 GB. To increase it, edit the sizeGB field in render.yaml:

disk:
  name: data
  mountPath: /var/lib/postgresql
  sizeGB: 50

Environment Variables

Variable Description Default
POSTGRES_DB Default database name paradedb
POSTGRES_USER Database superuser name postgres
POSTGRES_PASSWORD Database password Auto-generated

You can add additional Postgres environment variables (e.g. POSTGRES_INITDB_ARGS, PGDATA) in the envVars section of render.yaml or through the Render dashboard.

What is ParadeDB?

ParadeDB is an Elasticsearch alternative built on Postgres. It delivers Elastic-quality full-text, hybrid, and faceted search — all in pure SQL, with no separate search infrastructure to manage.

  • BM25 full-text search with 12+ tokenizers across 20+ languages
  • Hybrid search combining BM25 and vector similarity
  • Faceted search and boolean queries for filtering and complex search logic
  • Zero ETL — use as your primary Postgres directly or replicate from managed databases (RDS, Supabase, Neon, etc.)
