SynxDB Cloud is a cloud‑native data warehouse for AWS that delivers columnar MPP performance while remaining fully PostgreSQL compatible. It lets teams provision a cluster in under a minute, query data stored directly in S3 or native tables with standard SQL, and scale compute and storage independently without downtime.

Problem
Data engineers and analysts need to run large-scale analytics on AWS without managing complex infrastructure, and traditional warehouses often require separate storage layers, proprietary SQL dialects, and lengthy provisioning times.
Solution
SynxDB Cloud provides a cloud‑native data warehouse that runs on AWS and combines columnar MPP performance with full PostgreSQL compatibility. Users can provision a cluster in under a minute, connect with any PostgreSQL client, and query data stored directly in S3 or in native tables using standard SQL. The columnar layout reads only the columns required by a query, while the distributed execution engine scans data in parallel across nodes, dramatically reducing scan times. Compute and storage scale independently, allowing clusters to grow or shrink on demand without downtime. Integration with existing tools such as dbt, Metabase, and the PostgreSQL wire protocol eliminates the need for new drivers or query rewrites.
Target Audience
Primary customers are data engineering and analytics teams at startups, mid‑market companies, and enterprises that run workloads on AWS and require fast, scalable SQL analytics without managing complex warehouse infrastructure.
Features
- Columnar storage that scans only accessed columns, reducing I/O by up to 32× compared to row‑store scans
- Massively parallel processing (MPP) engine distributes work across all nodes for fast, scalable queries
- Full PostgreSQL compatibility: same SQL, drivers, and tooling as on‑prem PostgreSQL
- Native S3‑backed tables and one‑line COPY from Parquet, enabling lakehouse-style analytics
- Elastic compute scaling with live ALTER CLUSTER commands; storage scales separately on S3
- Instant provisioning (<60 s) of clusters in any supported AWS region without VPC peering
- Unified access via standard PostgreSQL wire protocol for psql, dbt, Metabase, and custom applications
