Key features

Fully managed database service

AlloyDB is a fully managed, PostgreSQL-compatible database service with industry-leading performance, availability, and scale. It automates administrative tasks such as backups, replication, patching, and capacity management and uses adaptive algorithms and machine learning for PostgreSQL vacuum management, storage and memory management, data tiering, and analytics acceleration, so you can focus on building your applications.

Fast transactional processing

AlloyDB is more than 4X faster than standard PostgreSQL for transactional workloads. It's suitable for the most demanding enterprise workloads, including those that require high transaction throughput, large data sizes, or multiple read replicas. Read connections scale horizontally, backed by low lag, scale-out read replica pools.

High availability

AlloyDB offers a 99.99% uptime SLA, inclusive of maintenance. It automatically detects and recovers from most database failures within 60 seconds, independent of database size and load. The architecture supports non-disruptive instance resizing and database maintenance.

Real-time business insights

AlloyDB is up to 100X faster than standard PostgreSQL for analytical queries, with zero impact on operational performance when running business intelligence, reporting, and hybrid transactional and analytical workloads (HTAP). Built-in integration with Vertex AI, Google's artificial intelligence platform, allows you to call machine learning models directly within a query or transaction, giving you low-latency, high-throughput augmented insights without having to write any application code.

Customer-friendly pricing

Pricing is transparent and predictable, with no expensive, restrictive licensing and no opaque I/O charges. Storage is automatically managed, and you're only charged for what you use, with no additional storage costs for read replicas. A free ultra-fast cache, automatically provisioned in addition to instance memory, allows you to maximize the price-performance ratio.

Plaid Logo
"At PLAID, we are developing KARTE, a customer experience platform. AlloyDB is fully compatible with PostgreSQL and can transparently extend column-oriented processing. We think it's a new powerful option with a unique technical approach that enables system designs to integrate isolated OLTP, OLAP, and HTAP workloads with minimal investment in new expertise. "
