Cosa fa PgDog

PgDog is an application for sharding PostgreSQL. It understands SQL and can distribute queries automatically between databases. It's built for managed databases, like AWS RDS, and doesn't require any changes to application code or schema. In addition to sharding, PgDog is a load balancer and pooler, so it can act as a replacement for PgBouncer, RDS Proxy, and other Postgres scaling products. It brings the simplicity and performance of HTTP load balancing to the database. Built from the experience of sharding Postgres at Instacart during peak growth in 2020, PgDog is the answer to the old question: does Postgres scale? It does now.

Scaling engine for PostgreSQL

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We built PgDog to shard PostgreSQL databases automatically without changing app code or schemas. It parses SQL and distributes queries across multiple Postgres instances, designed for managed environments like AWS RDS. PgDog also acts as a load balancer and pooler, replacing tools like PgBouncer and RDS Proxy to bring simpler, HTTP-style load balancing to Postgres.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

Lev lives in San Francisco, and the company remains based there with a remote team member.

Explain your decision regarding location.

We keep our base in San Francisco because that's where Lev is and where we have access to infrastructure and potential users in the B2B and cloud space. We operate mostly remotely but benefit from the tech ecosystem here.
