Modern PostgreSQL Kernel

Built on a modern and stable PostgreSQL kernel, Cloudberry leverages upstream features, performance improvements, and the rich PostgreSQL ecosystem — giving you access to a vast landscape of extensions and modern tooling.

Greenplum® Compatible

Derived from Greenplum® Database, Cloudberry maintains operational and behavioral compatibility — making migration straightforward for existing open-source Greenplum users with support for familiar workflows and migration tooling.

Vendor-Neutral & Apache-Governed

Developed under the Apache Software Foundation's governance model, ensuring a truly open, vendor-neutral community with transparent, merit-based decision-making.

Built for Performance

Parallel query execution and incremental materialized views deliver fast, scalable analytics — from terabytes to petabytes — on commodity hardware, virtual machines, or in the cloud.

Multi-Workload Ready

Handle diverse workloads out of the box — spatial analysis with PostGIS and in-database machine learning with Apache MADlib, all within a single MPP engine.

Enterprise-Grade Security & Modern Features

Transparent data encryption, password policies, a hybrid PAX storage engine, and dynamic tables for near-real-time data — all built for production-critical environments.
