🚀 Today, we're excited to announce that PeerDB Cloud is officially entering public beta. If you're a data engineer or an organization looking for a fast, simple, and cost-effective way to replicate data from Postgres to data warehouses such as Snowflake, BigQuery, and ClickHouse, or to queues such as Kafka, Redpanda, and Google PubSub, PeerDB Cloud is ready to serve you. If you want to be white-glove onboarded to PeerDB Cloud by the founder directly, you can book some time here.
We've been operating PeerDB Cloud in Private Beta for the past three months. As the system has matured and we've had the privilege of serving a growing number of customers, we're thrilled to now launch it into Public Beta.
What is PeerDB Cloud?
PeerDB Cloud is the fully managed offering of PeerDB. It is the easiest way to get started with PeerDB — in just a couple of clicks, you can have a production-ready PeerDB instance provisioned and a worry-free approach to Postgres replication. PeerDB Cloud comes bundled with PeerDB's core features like:
PeerDB Cloud comes with all PeerDB features
Postgres Change Data Capture with latencies of less than 1 minute for Data Warehouses and single-digit milliseconds for queues.
High-quality target connectors, for Data Warehouses such as Snowflake, BigQuery, Postgres, ClickHouse, etc., and Queues such as Kafka, Redpanda, Google PubSub, Azure Event Hubs, and so on.
Blazing Fast Parallel Initial Loads and Re-syncs: PeerDB is 10x faster compared to other tools. You can move Terabytes of data in few hours vs days.
Streaming Query Replication for production-ready replication based on watermark columns.
Web UI and Unique SQL Interface for ETL: Easily manage your data with our intuitive Web UI and SQL interface.
And many more
PeerDB Cloud is fully managed - 0 CAPEX and OPEX costs
In addition, PeerDB Cloud provides a fully-managed production-ready experience supporting enterprise-grade features such as:
High Availability (HA): Every PeerDB Cloud instance comes with HA. Under the hood, we have replica instances across Availability Zones and mechanisms for auto failover as needed.
Horizontal Autoscaling: As your replication load increases, we have mechanisms to auto-scale compute resources as needed.
In-Place/Transparent Upgrades: Enjoy hassle-free rolling upgrades with no downtime. This helps keep you up-to-date with all the latest features and ensures that you stay current with no extra effort.
Advanced Logs and Metrics: Monitor your system effectively with detailed logs and metrics. OpenTelemetry endpoint support is coming soon.
Privacy and Security: Privacy and security are our top priorities at PeerDB Cloud, surpassing even performance and functionality. We offer SSH tunneling for secure connections and ensure encryption at rest and in transit. Our platform is GDPR compliant and is currently undergoing a SOC2 audit (2 months in), with compliance expected by mid-June. Here is our trust report.
Dedicated Slack Channel & Support SLAs: Every PeerDB Cloud customer gets a dedicated slack channel for expert guidance during implementation, migration and post-prod support. PeerDB Cloud also comes with below Support SLAs:
Save up to 5x costs and Predictable Pricing
Being laser-focused on Postgres replication, we have implemented multiple Postgres-native and infrastructural features to optimize costs. Here is our white paper that provides a detailed summary of all these optimizations. With this, we are able to save up to 5x in costs for our customers compared to other tools. The graph below shows how PeerDB compares to other data-movement tools (reference)
In addition to this, PeerDB Cloud provides a predictable pricing model. Instead of charging based on the number of rows or the amount of data moved, you just pay for the vCPUs provisioned. This ensures that as your workload scales, your costs don't skyrocket.
Current Metrics
These behind-the-scenes metrics for PeerDB Cloud showcase our progress and reinforce our confidence in launching it to Public Beta.
Volume of data moved in PeerDB cloud: PeerDB Cloud already serves 10+ production customers and is replicating 20TB of data from Postgres every week, amounting to approximately 100TB per month. The graph below shows the day-over-day growth over the past week. Note that the graph below captures Avro compressed data; if uncompressed, the volume would be significantly higher, ranging anywhere from 200 to 400TB of uncompressed data moved per month.
Sign-ups for PeerDB Cloud: Signups have grown at a consistent pace over the past few months, increasing by 100% month over month.
Our Customers
In just three months, we have over 10 production customers using PeerDB Cloud for production-grade Postgres replication. Our customers are spread across various verticals including Fintech, IoT, Retail, Sales Marketing Automation, and more. Below is a snapshot of a few of our publicly referenceable customers.
Here is a link to our customer stories. They demonstrate how our customers were able to achieve 10 times faster and up to 5 times cheaper Postgres replication experiences with PeerDB. Here are a few testimonials:
"Our decision to choose PeerDB was reaffirmed by their comprehensive online resources, which instilled confidence in their expertise. Not only did they help us cut costs effectively, but their unparalleled customer service provided immediate and insightful assistance, making us feel supported and empowered in managing our PostgreSQL database."**- Sang Mercado, Head of Engineering, Harmonic AI
“We’re using this connector already for our Postgres to ClickHouse ETL and it’s insanely fast and accurate! Can’t believe how well this works. The PeerDB team has been super helpful in getting us set up, helping us debug, and advising us on everything related to ClickHouse and Postgres. Great work guys!!”**- Neel Mehta, CTO of Fiber AI
Growing with Postgres 📈
Postgres has solidified itself as one of the most popular developer databases ever created. While MySQL lost some appeal after being acquired by Oracle, Postgres continues to earn developer trust. In 2023, it topped the Stack Overflow Developer Survey, and was named DBMS of the Year by DB-Engines.
At PeerDB, we believe that Postgres is going to become the database of the world. We are dedicated to contributing to this vision by making it effortless for any Postgres user to implement use cases involving data movement and ETL for Postgres. Providing a fully managed Postgres replication experience through PeerDB Cloud is a step in that direction.
Future Roadmap
We're committed to continuous improvement and have exciting new features in development:
OpenTelemetry endpoint to integrate with your own monitoring tools such as DataDog, PagerDuty, OpsGenie, and more.
WebHooks and REST API integration to create and manage PEERs and MIRRORs.
Expanding from AWS to other clouds incl. GCP and Azure
Support for private link to securely connect to your VPC. This feature is currently in private preview.
