Is ParadeDB available on my cloud PostgreSQL?

Most serverless Postgres providers (Neon, Supabase, Crunchy Bridge, Render) already compile ParadeDB. Run SELECT * FROM pg_available_extensions WHERE name = 'paradedb';. If a row appears, the extension is installable.

Which cloud providers support ParadeDB?

Neon

ParadeDB ships in Neon's extension catalog for all plans. No additional setup beyond CREATE EXTENSION is required.

Supabase

Supabase Pro and higher tiers expose ParadeDB. Free tier may lag a few days after new releases.

Render, Crunchy Bridge & others

Consult each provider’s Extensions page. If ParadeDB is absent, open a ticket; most vendors add it quickly.

How do I install ParadeDB on a cloud database?

Connect with psql, pgAdmin, or any SQL editor and execute the command in Syntax. Use IF NOT EXISTS to keep CI scripts idempotent.

How do I verify ParadeDB is active?

Query pg_extension. An installed version number confirms the extension is live and ready for vector search.

Best practices for cloud deployments

Keep ParadeDB on the latest minor version to benefit from speedups. Pin your extension version with ALTER EXTENSION paradedb UPDATE TO 'x.y.z'; only during maintenance windows.

Common mistakes when enabling ParadeDB

See below for quick fixes: missing superuser rights and forgetting to reconnect after installation.

How to Check ParadeDB Cloud Hosting in PostgreSQL Example Usage


-- Enable ParadeDB and create a vector index on product descriptions

How to Check ParadeDB Cloud Hosting in PostgreSQL Syntax


CREATE EXTENSION IF NOT EXISTS paradedb [WITH VERSION 'x.y.z'];
-- Optional: change owner
ALTER EXTENSION paradedb OWNER TO cloud_admin;

Common Mistakes

Using a role without CREATE privilege. ParadeDB needs a user who can install extensions. Fix by granting TEMP and CREATE on the database or running as the project owner.
Skipping reconnection after extension install. Some clients cache OIDs; disconnect and reconnect to ensure new ParadeDB functions are discoverable.
