The All-in-One Database
Build business processes and systems end-to-end
“Omnigres redefines what's possible with Postgres. By removing unnecessary layers, it empowers
developers to concentrate on business logic instead of infrastructure, dramatically simplifying
workflows.”

Its modular design allows you to adopt components piecemeal,
addressing your
most critical needs first without requiring a full architectural buy-in upfront – or ever.
Traditional Architecture
Most business applications require dozens of moving parts: application servers, microservices, message
queues, caching layers, API gateways, and orchestration tools. Each component adds operational complexity,
failure
points, and integration overhead.
vs. Data-Native Architecture
Omnigres collapses this sprawl into a single Postgres instance that handles HTTP requests, WebSocket
connections, background jobs, caching, and real-time notifications natively. This allows you to deploy
one system and get a complete application platform.
Traditional architectures shuttle data between storage, application servers, and specialized compute
engines. Every round trip adds latency and requires serialization, network overhead, and context
switching.
When computation happens where data lives, these inefficiencies disappear. Complex business logic
runs
directly against your data model using Postgres' mature query engine, eliminating the impedance
mismatch
between how you think about data and how your system processes it.
Data-native functions (f.k.a "stored procedures"), as opposed to the cloud-native ones, live
in the same transactional context, they execute with full ACID guarantees, and
incur no additional data transportation costs, making them the definitive choice for reliable and
efficient operations.
At their core, most businesses are data systems with sets of rules and logic. A new order triggers
an invoice, an updated inventory level alerts a supplier, a user signup initiates a welcome sequence. The
speed and reliability of these automated actions are critical for business operations. The goal is to make
these
systems simple to build and maintain.
In a traditional stack, this requires building and managing a complex infrastructure of application servers,
message queues, and background workers. This development overhead is immense, and the resulting system is
complex. The logic runs in a separate context, seconds after a database change, introducing network latency
and creating constant risks of data inconsistency and race conditions. Teams spend more time managing
infrastructure than implementing business logic.
Omnigres, with its data-native architecture, circumvents this complexity.
Instead of architecting a system, your team can focus on what matters. The automation logic is expressed as
a data-native function that lives with your
data. This radically simplifies development. Because the logic runs inside the same atomic, ACID-compliant
transaction as the data change, execution becomes instantaneous, with zero latency and absolute data
consistency. You get faster, more reliable automation with a fraction of the code and none of the
operational overhead.
Omnigres is designed with a modular, piecemeal adoption in mind, allowing you to integrate its capabilities
gradually as your needs evolve. The platform offers a suite of extensions that can be
individually adopted, enabling you to enhance your existing Postgres ecosystem without a complete
overhaul.
For example, our upcoming integrated
high-availability (HA) extension is built to solidify fundamental
Postgres capabilities, ensuring high availability and seamless operations during unexpected events. This
allows to dramatically reduce the complexity and footprint of the infrastructure.
Beyond core database enhancements, Omnigres offers a diverse range of extensions to address specialized
needs. You can start small with
advanced
typing.
You can integrate the database with an
object
storage,
transactional e-mail providers and other external services.
The
worker extension can be used
for
background task handling and scheduling. PostgREST-compatible
endpoint API
can be easily provisioned – again, with no additional infrastructure.
Lastly, but not least importantly, we provide high-level business components for
ledgering,
compliance and audit.
