EDB has completed the acquisition of Altinity to merge Postgres transactional capabilities with ClickHouse real-time analytics, integrating Altinity engineers into EDB’s Postgres team to drive a unified product roadmap.

The goal of the integration is a unified Postgres AI (PG AI) platform that handles transactional processing, real-time analytics, and AI-powered applications while reducing data movement between systems.

Financial terms were not disclosed, and Altinity’s engineering team will join EDB to work on a shared development roadmap.

Governance features at the data layer include an off switch and audit trails under customer control to support security and compliance in agentic AI workflows.

Industry observers say success hinges on coordinating both engines, preserving strengths, and lowering integration costs; IDC highlights shared governance, catalogs, and deployment roadmaps as central challenges.

EDB plans integrated enterprise ClickHouse capabilities in Q4 2026 with deployment options spanning BYOC, developer cloud, self-hosted on Kubernetes/OpenShift, and edge deployments for air-gapped environments.

The rollout will also include customer-managed clouds, on-premises solutions, and edge installations to meet data residency and security needs.

Customers emphasize real-time analytics and sovereign data control, with Jump Trading citing the value of real-time capabilities in a unified platform.

IDC analyst notes that consolidating data workloads from multiple vendors aligns with demand for simpler data management, while EDB differentiates on data sovereignty and hybrid deployments.

Altinity customers will continue receiving current services during the transition, and the combined roadmap will steer future product development and support.

Altinity’s client portfolio includes The Trade Desk, Tubi, Kong, AppsFlyer, ZoomInfo and PostHog, with Altinity.Cloud and its Kubernetes Operator forming a key part of offerings; the Operator has over 108 million Docker Hub pulls.

The Altinity portfolio features Altinity Stable Builds, Antalya Builds, Altinity.Cloud, and the Altinity Kubernetes Operator, reinforcing the combined capability to scale ClickHouse.
