AlloyDB for PostgreSQL

AlloyDB AI offers high-performance, pgvector-compatible search that runs vector queries up to 10x faster compared to standard PostgreSQL. It helps you generate vector embeddings from within your database, access data stored in open-source gen AI tools, such as LangChain, and access your AI models, whether they're local models in AlloyDB or remote models in Vertex AI.

Simplify all aspects of the database journey with AI-powered assistance, helping your teams focus on what matters most. Gemini in AlloyDB, in preview, enables developers, operators, and database administrators to build applications quickly using natural language, and helps manage, optimize and govern an entire fleet of databases within a single pane of glass.

AlloyDB uses adaptive algorithms and ML for PostgreSQL vacuum management, storage and memory management, data tiering, and analytics acceleration. An Index Advisor monitors queries and recommends indexes that can be added to increase performance, and it helps improve query performance by up to 4x, based on our performance tests.

Create secondary clusters in different regions for disaster recovery, have them continuously replicated from the primary region, and promote them in case of an outage. Secondary clusters also improve read performance by bringing data closer to your users. AlloyDB's regional replicas deliver more than 25x lower replication lag than standard PostgreSQL for high throughput transactional workloads.

Protect your business from data loss with point-in-time recovery to any point within your defined retention window. Restore the database to a specific date and time for development, test and auditing purposes, or recover your production database from user or application errors. You no longer need expensive hardware or software solutions to achieve enterprise-level data protection.

No matter where your database is located—whether on-premises, on Compute Engine, or in other clouds—Database Migration Service (DMS) can migrate it to AlloyDB securely and with minimal downtime. DMS leverages native PostgreSQL replication capabilities and automated, AI-powered schema and code conversion to maximize the reliability of your migration.
