기능
Better price-performance
AlloyDB is more than 4x faster for transactional workloads and provides up to 2x better price-performance compared to self-managed PostgreSQL.* It's suitable for the most demanding enterprise workloads, including those that require high transaction throughput, large data sizes, or multiple read replicas. Read connections scale horizontally, backed by low lag, scale-out read replica pools, and support cross-region replicas. Committed use discounts offer additional savings for one to three year commitments.
Fully featured vector database
AlloyDB AI can help you build a wide range of generative AI applications. It uses the Google ScaNN index, the technology that powers services like Google Search and YouTube, to scale to over a billion vectors and deliver up to 4 times faster vector queries than the HNSW index in standard PostgreSQL.* It also helps you generate vector embeddings from within your database, access data stored in open-source gen AI tools such as LangChain, and access AI models in Vertex AI and other platforms.
Runs anywhere
AlloyDB Omni is a downloadable edition of AlloyDB, designed to run anywhere—in your data center, on your laptop, at the edge, and in any cloud. It’s powered by the same engine that underlies the cloud-based AlloyDB service and provides the same functionality. AlloyDB Omni is a fraction of the cost of legacy databases, so it’s an attractive way to modernize to an enterprise-grade version of PostgreSQL with support from a Tier 1 vendor.
AI-driven development and operations
Simplify all aspects of the database journey with AI-powered assistance, helping your teams focus on what matters most. AlloyDB Studio offers a query editor where you can use Gemini to write SQL and analyze your data using natural language prompts. Database Center, in Preview, provides a comprehensive view of your database fleet with intelligent performance and security recommendations, and you can enable Gemini for an easy-to-use chat interface to ask questions and get optimization recommendations.
Real-time business insights
Thanks to its built-in columnar engine, AlloyDB is up to 100x faster than standard PostgreSQL for analytical queries*, with zero impact on operational performance when running business intelligence, reporting, and hybrid transactional and analytical workloads (HTAP). You can also stream data or use federated queries with BigQuery and call machine learning models in Vertex AI directly within a query or transaction.
Fully managed database service
AlloyDB is a fully managed database service with cloud-scale architecture and industry-leading performance, availability, and scale. It automates administrative tasks such as backups, replication, patching, and capacity management, and uses adaptive algorithms and machine learning for PostgreSQL vacuum management, storage management, memory management, data tiering, and analytics acceleration, so you can focus on building your applications.
PostgreSQL compatibility
PostgreSQL has emerged in recent years as a leading alternative to legacy, proprietary databases because of its rich functionality, ecosystem extensions, and enterprise readiness. AlloyDB is fully compatible with PostgreSQL, providing flexibility and true portability for your workloads. It’s easy to migrate existing workloads and bring your existing PostgreSQL skills over.
High availability
AlloyDB offers a 99.99% uptime SLA, inclusive of maintenance. It automatically detects and recovers from most database failures within 60 seconds, independent of database size and load. The architecture supports non-disruptive instance resizing and database maintenance, with planned operations incurring less than 1 second of application downtime. Read pools are updated with zero downtime.
Scalability
Scale AlloyDB instances up and down to support almost any workload and deploy up to 20 read replicas for read scalability. You can also create secondary clusters in different regions for disaster recovery, have them continuously replicated from the primary region, and promote them in case of an outage. Regional replicas deliver more than 25x lower replication lag than standard PostgreSQL for high throughput transactional workloads. They also improve read performance by bringing data closer to your users.
Secure access and connectivity
AlloyDB encrypts data in transit and at rest. It supports private connectivity with Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) for secure connectivity to your applications, and allows you to access your database instances via private IP without going through the internet or using external IP addresses. You can manage your own encryption keys to encrypt data at rest for your database and your backups, and you can choose between Identity and Access Management (IAM) and PostgreSQL user roles for database authentication.
Customer-friendly pricing
Eliminate your dependency on high-cost, proprietary databases, and take advantage of transparent and predictable pricing with no proprietary licensing or opaque I/O charges. Storage is automatically managed and you're only charged for what you use, with no additional storage costs for read replicas. An ultra-fast cache, automatically provisioned in addition to instance memory, allows you to maximize the price-performance ratio. Committed use discounts offer additional savings for one to three year commitments. And AlloyDB Omni offers another simple and affordable deployment option.
Continuous backup and recovery
Protect your business from data loss with point-in-time recovery to any point within your defined retention window. Restore the database to a specific date and time for development, testing, and auditing purposes, or recover your production database from user or application errors. You no longer need expensive hardware and software solutions to achieve enterprise-level data protection.
Easy migrations
No matter where your source database is located—whether on-premises, on Compute Engine, or in other clouds—Database Migration Service (DMS) can migrate it to AlloyDB securely and with minimal downtime. DMS leverages native PostgreSQL replication capabilities and automated schema and code conversion, as necessary, to maximize the reliability of your migration. Gemini adds AI-powered assistance for heterogeneous database migrations, helping you review and convert database-resident code and offering full explanability. For an assessment of your migration needs, try the Database Modernization Program.

Multicloud and hybrid cloud
Run anywhere, at a fraction of the cost
While the cloud is the typical destination for database migrations, you may need to keep some workloads on premises to meet regulatory or data sovereignty requirements, and you might need to run them on other clouds or at the edge. AlloyDB Omni is a downloadable edition of AlloyDB that’s powered by the same engine as the cloud-based service and offers the same functionality, so you can standardize on a single database across all platforms.

Learn from customers using AlloyDB
"As our customer base grew, we ran into PostgreSQL vertical scalability limits and problems like CPU, memory, and connection exhaustion. We were thrilled that AlloyDB gave us a drop-in PostgreSQL replacement with much more efficient reads and writes. AlloyDB requires less CPUs to hit our throughput and latency goals, lowering our cost by 40-50% and preparing us for the next phase of customer growth."
