IIPostgreSQL is exceptional โ but it was designed as a single-node relational database. For many workloads, that's perfectly fine.
For India's scale, it isn't.
Government departments handling hundreds of millions of citizen records. Banks processing crores of transactions a day. Defence systems that can't afford a single point of failure.
These workloads need a database that scales horizontally โ across multiple nodes, across availability zones, without sacrificing consistency or compliance.
That's where ShaktiDB goes beyond PostgreSQL.
ShaktiDB's distributed architecture enables:
๐ Horizontal scale-out โ across nodes, no proprietary vendor lock-in
๐ High availability โ mission-critical systems that can't go down
๐๏ธ India-sovereign infrastructure โ all within India's data governance framework
This is why ShaktiDB isn't just a PostgreSQL fork. It's an architectural step forward.
We'll be talking about exactly this at PGConf India 2026 โ come find us.
