Aiven announces a new strategic partnership with Google Cloud that enables customers to deploy and manage AlloyDB Omni on Google Cloud, Amazon Web Services, and Microsoft Azure with Aiven for AlloyDB Omni. This solution combines Google Cloud’s high-performance, 100% PostgreSQL-compatible database, AlloyDB Omni, with Aiven's fully managed, multi-cloud, data infrastructure platform, to help organizations run transactional, analytical, and vector workloads on any cloud, managed by a single platform.

The mix of operational and analytical workloads is the cornerstone of every organization in making data-driven decisions. However, balancing both types of workloads is either a complex multi-tech setup or a single-tech setup generating suboptimal performance. And, as organizations incorporate generative AI initiatives, they want an integrated solution rather than multiple pieces that need to be stitched together. This is where Aiven for AlloyDB Omni comes in, providing a single solution for transactional, analytical, and vector workloads across multiple cloud environments.

Why AlloyDB Omni?

AlloyDB Omni is Google Cloud’s downloadable edition of AlloyDB, designed to run anywhere —in your data center, on your laptop, at the edge, and in any cloud. AlloyDB Omni is 100% PostgreSQL compatible, and offers superior performance, availability and scale for your PostgreSQL workloads. It's designed to handle the most demanding transactions and analytical queries, making it ideal for a wide range of use cases, from high-throughput web applications to real-time analytics dashboards to building enterprise genAI applications.

  • Transactional workloads (OLTP): AlloyDB Omni is up to 2X faster* than standard PostgreSQL for transactional workloads. Its optimized architecture ensures low-latency transaction processing and high throughput, keeping your application responsive even under peak loads.
  • Analytical workloads (OLAP): AlloyDB Omni delivers up to 100X faster* analytical queries than standard PostgreSQL. Its columnar storage engine accelerates complex queries, enabling you to gain actionable insights from your data in seconds, not hours.
  • AI-powered applications: AlloyDB Omni's built-in vector support enables efficient similarity search, a cornerstone of many AI applications. This, coupled with seamless integration with Google Cloud's Vertex AI platform, allows you to build and deploy sophisticated AI models directly within your database environment.

All this, while maintaining full compatibility with the vast ecosystem of PostgreSQL tools and extensions that developers already know and love.
