EDB Postgres AI Hybrid Manager
EDB Postgres AI Hybrid Manager (HM) is the control plane for Postgres, sovereign AI, and analytics workloads across Kubernetes-based infrastructures. It provides a consistent and unified way to provision, operate, and monitor PostgreSQL clusters—whether you're deploying on-prem, in the cloud, or across hybrid environments.
Hybrid Manager enables end-to-end data workflows from database deployment to AI, analytics, all governed within your infrastructure.
Why Hybrid Manager?
Modern data platforms require more than just database provisioning—they need to support:
- Kubernetes-native scalability and orchestration
- Resilient, high-availability deployments
- AI and GenAI integration
- Postgres-native analytics with open formats
- Governance, observability, and access control
Hybrid Manager was created to meet these demands. It extends Kubernetes capabilities with built-in Postgres expertise, making it easier to operate stateful workloads without sacrificing the flexibility of containerized infrastructure.
Key capabilities
| Area | Description |
|---|---|
| Database provisioning | Deploy highly available PostgreSQL or Distributed Postgres clusters using UI, templates, or declarative manifests. |
| AI integration | Run sovereign GenAI pipelines, serve models with KServe, and build AI knowledge bases governed by your infrastructure. |
| Analytics | Offload cold data to Delta Lake or Iceberg, query with Postgres syntax, and enable hybrid transactional/analytical processing. |
| Monitoring and observability | Integrated dashboards using Prometheus, Grafana, and Loki provide deep visibility into query health, resource usage, and system alerts. |
| Security and access management | Integrate with identity providers, define RBAC for projects and clusters, and manage secure access to your databases and services. |
Supported environments
Hybrid Manager runs on Kubernetes and supports common enterprise platforms:
- Amazon EKS
- Google GKE
- Red Hat OpenShift (RHOS)
It supports both cloud-native and on-premises architectures, allowing you to build sovereign, compliant, and flexible data infrastructures.
Integrated solutions
Hybrid Manager unlocks core functionality across the EDB Postgres AI ecosystem:
- AI Factory – Build and run GenAI workloads using private data
