pgEdge joins rush to merge OLTP and OLAP storage to support AI
Summary
pgEdge has introduced ColdFront, a beta PostgreSQL-native architecture that moves older data into Apache Iceberg storage while keeping PostgreSQL as the main application interface. The system aims to reduce storage costs and preserve application compatibility, including the ability to update or delete archived data through standard SQL. The launch targets enterprises dealing with AI-driven data growth, regulatory retention, and the need to keep historical records writable. The article also compares ColdFront with similar offerings from Databricks, EDB, and Snowflake, and highlights DuckDB as an increasingly shared embedded analytics layer across these approaches.
