Elastic read scaling for your existing Postgres

Scale Postgres read performance without modifying your application, managing more infrastructure, or migrating data.

  • Works with Amazon RDS, Aurora, and Supabase
  • Save up to 58% vs. traditional read replicas
  • Zero data migration, no code changes

Scaling read workloads shouldn’t be your problem anymore

Traditional replicas are costly, inefficient, and more work than they should be.

You need more throughput without re-architecting your stack

Analytics dashboards and reporting APIs are slowing down your primary database during peak hours.

Read replicas multiply your infrastructure overhead

Traditional replicas mean more nodes, more config, and more failover logic to maintain.

You're paying for idle replicas 20+ hours a day

Peak traffic only lasts a few hours a day, but traditional replicas force you to pay for full capacity 24/7.

Introducing Springtail

Scale Postgres read performance without scaling your ops

Add elastic read capacity without changing your application or managing more infrastructure.

Springtail read scaling for PostgreSQL using logical replication, shared storage layer, and elastic compute nodes.

On-demand read scaling

Add or remove read capacity to match workloads. Only pay for what you use.

Works with your existing Postgres

Amazon RDS, Aurora, and Supabase are supported out of the box.

No code changes or rewrites

Queries are routed automatically, no app changes required.

Springtail scales read performance without additional engineering work or infra to manage.

Easy integration

Works with your existing Postgres database

Documentation

Springtail uses Postgres logical replication to maintain a real-time copy of your data in a shared storage layer. You instantly get elastic read nodes that scale independently from your primary database.

Simply point your application to Springtail, and it routes reads to its elastic replicas and writes to your primary.

Real-time data sync

Streams data changes from your primary using Postgres logical replication.

Schema change tracking

Captures DDL changes with triggers to keep schemas in sync across nodes.

Postgres frontend

Utilizes Foreign Data Wrappers to expose the replicated data as Postgres tables.

Low-risk adoption

Connect through a standard Postgres endpoint. Easy to integrate, no vendor lock-in.

Book a demo

Keep your Postgres. Add elastic scale.

Scale read performance without switching your database or managing more infrastructure.
