PGSync adds semantic search without data leaving your infrastructure

PGSync Pro adds real-time semantic and hybrid search to PostgreSQL, re-embedding vectors only when meaning changes and keeping data within the user's infrastructure. The tool, built on the open-source PGSync, uses CDC to maintain fresh vector indexes and supports local sentence-transformers embeddings with optional OpenAI, Cohere, or Voyage integrations. A live demo shows that searching "a rebellion against a watchful state" returns George Orwell's "Nineteen Eighty-Four" by matching meaning rather than keywords.

Real-time semantic & hybrid search for PostgreSQL — that only re-embeds when meaning changes.

Your database stays the source of truth — PGSync Pro keeps a fresh vector index in lock-step, and only pays to embed when meaning actually changes. Built on PGSync, which syncs PostgreSQL, MySQL and MariaDB to Elasticsearch / OpenSearch.

See it live — no signup

Type an idea, not keywords. On the live demo, searching “a rebellion against a watchful state” returns Nineteen Eighty-Four — a book that shares none of those words. That's the difference between matching words and matching meaning, kept in sync with the database in real time.

What you get #

Always fresh

Vectors stay in sync with your database via CDC. No nightly reindex jobs, no stale search results.

The change-guard

Re-embed only when the embedded text changes. Unrelated column updates are free — and easy on your embedding bill.

Semantic + hybrid

Vector kNN fused with keyword BM25 (reciprocal rank fusion) — the best of meaning and exact match.

Runs in your infra

Local

sentence-transformers

embeddings mean text never leaves your environment. OpenAI / Cohere / Voyage optional. -

Agent-ready (MCP) An MCP server exposes search to Claude Desktop, Claude Code, or your own agent — retrieval over live data.

Preflight checks

pgsync-pro validate

verifies your schema and connections before indexing — catching mistakes with actionable errors.

PGSync and django-pgsync stay free and MIT forever. Pro adds the semantic layer on top — the same schema.json

and CLI, plus an embedding

block.

Next: try the live demo, watch the pipeline animated, then pick a plan.
