OrioleDB is a cloud-native storage engine for PostgreSQL implemented as a pluggable extension. It combines benefits of in-memory and on-disk systems to dramatically reduce IO, compress data, minimize bloat from updates, and increase transaction throughput. Benchmarks show 4-6x improvements in read/write performance and efficiency compared to standard PostgreSQL. It is designed for developers and operators seeking better scalability and lower operational costs without changing their PostgreSQL workflows.
