Shows whether ParadeDB can run on your cloud-hosted PostgreSQL and how to enable it.
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.
ParadeDB ships in Neon's extension catalog for all plans. No additional setup beyond CREATE EXTENSION
is required.
Supabase Pro and higher tiers expose ParadeDB. Free tier may lag a few days after new releases.
Consult each provider’s Extensions page. If ParadeDB is absent, open a ticket; most vendors add it quickly.
Connect with psql, pgAdmin, or any SQL editor and execute the command in Syntax
. Use IF NOT EXISTS
to keep CI scripts idempotent.
Query pg_extension
. An installed version number confirms the extension is live and ready for vector search.
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.
See below for quick fixes: missing superuser rights and forgetting to reconnect after installation.
Only the additional vector columns and indexes consume space. Storage rates follow your cloud provider’s standard pricing.
Yes. Run DROP EXTENSION paradedb CASCADE;
. Remove dependent indexes and columns first.
Performance is comparable. Self-hosting gives full control over CPU flags and configuration, but serverless clouds handle scaling for you.
