PostgresML was founded in 2022 by the engineers who built (and rebuilt) Instacart’s machine learning platform.

In the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic — and the company’s highest-ever growth period — they found that the data infrastructure for machine learning at scale was too complex and data hungry to reliably deliver fast and efficient systems.

They created a platform that eliminated microservices and moved the models right into the database. They saw dramatic performance improvements to their search and recommendation apps along with an increase (from 9 months to 1 week!) in development cycles.

PostgresML was created to provide the same critical infrastructure to today’s ML/AI apps and their practitioners. Whether it’s RAG or search; PostgresML users can access the same in-database platform to set up, train, test and run state-of-the-art models in a single solution.
