EDB Postgres AI Hybrid Manager#
EDB Postgres AI Hybrid Manager (HM) is the control plane for Postgres, sovereign AI, and analytics workloads across Kubernetes-based infrastructures. It provides a consistent and unified way to provision, operate, and monitor PostgreSQL clusters:whether you’re deploying on-prem, in the cloud, or across hybrid environments.
Hybrid Manager enables end-to-end data workflows from database deployment to AI analytics, all governed within your infrastructure.
Why Hybrid Manager?#
Modern data platforms require more than just database provisioning:they need to support:
Kubernetes-native scalability and orchestration
Resilient, high-availability deployments
AI and GenAI integration
Postgres-native analytics with open formats
Governance, observability, and access control
Hybrid Manager was created to meet these demands. It extends Kubernetes capabilities with built-in Postgres expertise, making it easier to operate stateful workloads without sacrificing the flexibility of containerized infrastructure.
Key capabilities#
Area |
Description |
|---|---|
Database provisioning |
Deploy highly available PostgreSQL or Distributed Postgres clusters using the console, templates, or declarative manifests. |
AI integration |
Run sovereign GenAI pipelines , serve models with KServe, and build AI knowledge bases governed by your infrastructure. |
Analytics |
Offload cold data to Delta Lake or Iceberg , query with Postgres syntax, and enable hybrid transactional/analytical processing. |
Monitoring and observability |
Use the integrated dashboards that leverage Prometheus, Grafana, and Loki to obtain deep visibility into query health, resource usage, and system alerts. |
Security and access management |
Integrate with identity providers, define RBAC for projects and clusters, and manage secure access to your databases and services. |
Database migration |
Migrate schemas and data from external databases (Oracle, self-managed Postgres) to HM-managed clusters. Leverage integrated services for migration and schema assessment, data transfer (snapshot), and continuous replication (streaming) to achieve minimal downtime migrations. |
Supported environments#
Hybrid Manager runs on Kubernetes and supports these common enterprise cloud platforms:
Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS)
Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE)
HM also supports on-premises hosting platforms:
Red Hat OpenShift (RHOS)
SUSE Rancher RKE2
It supports both cloud-native and on-premises architectures, allowing you to build sovereign, compliant, and flexible data infrastructures.
Integrated solutions#
Hybrid Manager unlocks core functionality across the EDB Postgres AI ecosystem. It consists of:
AI Factory Architecture on Hybrid Manager – Build and run GenAI workloads using private data.
Analytics Concepts in Hybrid Manager – Enable open-format analytics with Iceberg, Delta Lake, and tiered offloading.
Model Image Migration – Accelerate adoption of Postgres with in-platform migration tools.
Operational Monitoring – Monitor operations using built-in observability stack with Kubernetes and database insights.
Cluster lifecycle – Create templates, perform upgrades, configure HA settings, and restore data.
