Introducing the pgEdge Control Plane: a 100% open source, declarative API for PostgreSQL management

In this video, pgEdge Solution Engineer Paul Rothrock introduces the pgEdge Control Plane: a distributed application designed to simplify the management and orchestration of Postgres databases. It provides a declarative API for defining, deploying, and updating databases across multiple hosts.

You interact with the Control Plane via an HTTP API. Once you've initialized a Control Plane cluster, you can submit requests to the API of any Control Plane server in the cluster to create and manage Postgres databases deployed to your hosts.

It supports flexible deployment options for both single-region and multi-region deployments across PostgreSQL versions 16, 17, and 18. Extension support is included for open source high-availability extensions Spock, LOLOR, and Snowflake, along with high-impact extensions pgAudit, PostGIS, and pgvector.
