Great product positioning. I hope their follow-up is better than typical Google. The ML features are a good start, but I hope they get some BigQuery ML style model-definition-in-SQL features.

The list of supported extensions [1] is interesting and covers the biggies. Still, it always kills me that these hosted "Postgres+" solutions end up meaning no third party extensions. ZomboDB (easy ElasticSearch integration) is a PG extension I've always wanted to try, but haven't been able to.

Looks like AlloyDB is a result of the influx of Oracle and SAP database people into GCP.


Or theft. Gitlab private projects don't offer confidentiality from the service provider afterall...


It's very frustrating.

We use ZomboDB heavily, and the lack of extension support in AWS/Google cloud offerings prevents us from switching.
