AlloyDB Express is available in Preview for PostgreSQL 18. Optimized for rapid prototyping and for workflows that use AI coding agents, this configuration provides the following features: Fast provisioning Scale-to-zero compute when idle A monthly free tier for the first 12 months of usage One-click upgrades to AlloyDB for PostgreSQL For more information...
You can now tune SQL queries using AI. Available starting with version 1.6.2 of the google_ml_integration extension, the ai.tune_sql function uses an LLM along with query execution plans, schemas, and runtime stats to recommend query optimizations.
AlloyDB AI version 1.6.5 adds support for newer Gemini models and the semantic-ranker-512 model while setting gemini-3.5-flash-lite as default.
AlloyDB now provides general availability for four-level ScaNN vector indexes on PostgreSQL 17, supporting up to 10 billion rows. It also includes automatic index maintenance and streaming functionality for improved recall on filtered searches.
AlloyDB AI now offers preview functions for extracting structured data and classifying text directly within database queries. The update also includes parameter renaming and new instructions for AI query engine functions.
Lakehouse federation in AlloyDB is generally available ( GA ). This feature lets you query live data in BigQuery directly from AlloyDB using the bigquery_fdw extension without moving or duplicating the data. For more information, see Access to real-time data in BigQuery overview and Configure access to real-time data in BigQuery .
You can now use the AlloyDB Columnar Engine as a read-optimized, in-memory cache for HNSW vector indexes. This feature is generally available ( GA ). It accelerates vector search performance and increases queries per second (QPS) for vector workloads. For more information, see Accelerate queries with the Columnar Engine .
AlloyDB for PostgreSQL instances and nodes now expose the status, throughput and backlog of the audit logging pipeline in Cloud Monitoring.
The preview feature pushes some LIMIT and OFFSET clauses down to BigQuery to cut network transfer, and optional runtime projects let queries run and bill compute separately from the owning project.
The Model Context Protocol Toolbox for Databases can now access AlloyDB observability features and advanced query insights directly from an IDE.
BigQuery tables can be synced into AlloyDB once or on a periodic schedule, giving operational analytics low-latency transactional access to data lake data.
AlloyDB now supports Best Matching 25 (BM25) indexes for full-text search in Preview . You can use the pg_textsearch extension to create BM25 indexes and optimize probabilistic ranking of full-text search. This feature is supported on AlloyDB instances running PostgreSQL 17 or 18. For more information, see Create and manage a BM25 index .
Note: IAM group authentication is available in Preview for new AlloyDB clusters. To enable this feature on an existing cluster, contact your Google Cloud account team. IAM group authentication for AlloyDB is available in Preview for new clusters running PostgreSQL 15 and later.
AlloyDB now supports cross-region failover in Preview . You can optionally enable cross-region failover to automate the recreation of the original primary when a secondary cluster is promoted while maintaining your replication topology without requiring manual cluster deletion or re-creation.
Transparent query forwarding is now available in Preview for clusters compatible with PostgreSQL 17 and 18. With this feature, the primary node in a cluster intercepts read-only queries and selectively forwards them to read pool instances while maintaining read-your-writes consistency.
External search with AlloyDB now supports Apache Solr in Preview . You can use the external_search_fdw extension to connect to a Solr cluster and query its data directly from your database.
PostgreSQL-compatible database with AI built in.
