Rubrik boosts AWS database security with DynamoDB, RDS tools
Rubrik has announced new support for Amazon DynamoDB and released a cyber resilience solution for relational databases, initially focusing on Amazon RDS for PostgreSQL. The expansion of Rubrik's data protection services on AWS aims to provide additional security layers for customers handling growing data volumes in cloud environments. The announced offerings are designed to address data security gaps, mitigate the risk of cyber threats, and help meet compliance requirements by automating backup, ensuring data immutability, and streamlining recovery operations. Services overview Rubrik's extension to Amazon DynamoDB provides customers with a single policy-driven console that handles backup scheduling and cross-account recovery processes. Automation of these processes, often seen as complex and manual, intends to lower the burden on IT teams and standardise protection across environments. For Amazon RDS users, Rubrik is launching a proprietary cyber resilience solution, with support for PostgreSQL. The company states that this approach eliminates the need for extra infrastructure to maintain immutable, undeletable backups, allowing databases to be continuously protected regardless of architecture complexity. As organisations entrust their most critical data and applications with cloud database services, it's crucial to have secure and cost-effective protection in place. Extending our cloud database protection to Amazon DynamoDB and deepening our capabilities for Amazon RDS for PostgreSQL is a testament to our ongoing innovation and strategic partnership with AWS. Together, we can help our customers become truly cyber resilient. The new solutions are intended to simplify management of AWS cloud database environments through centralised dashboards, offering unified views and control, particularly for customers who opt out of AWS's native data protection services. Amazon DynamoDB protection Rubrik's support for Amazon DynamoDB incorporates centralised visibility, which enables discovery and monitoring of DynamoDB instances across multiple AWS accounts and regions. This is particularly significant for organisations managing large, distributed deployments in the cloud. Rubrik's platform allows for incremental-forever backups, which are designed to minimise storage consumption and associated costs. Customers can select from a range of Amazon S3 storage classes including S3 Standard, S3 Standard-Infrequent Access, S3 One Zone-Infrequent Access, S3 Glacier Instant Retrieval, S3 Glacier Flexible Retrieval, and S3 Glacier Deep Archive. This flexibility aims to increase cost efficiency for long-term data retention and compliance. Cyber resilience for Amazon RDS The proprietary cyber resilience solution for Amazon RDS offers immutable protection, ensuring backups cannot be altered or deleted. The platform does not require additional vault configurations or the combination of multiple services to achieve immutability, reducing operational complexity. Operations management for Amazon RDS on PostgreSQL is consolidated into one interface, allowing organisations to maintain visibility and control of backup information across different regions and AWS accounts. This centralised approach targets organisations seeking alternatives to AWS's native tools, aiming to streamline compliance and recovery processes. Customer benefits Rubrik claims the new features will help customers reduce operational risk while simplifying management and minimising cloud costs. The unified platform approach is also designed to bring consistency across diverse and highly distributed AWS environments, addressing both security and operational requirements. The expanded support responds to increased adoption of cloud-based database services, and recognises the challenges organisations face in securing such resources at scale. All of Rubrik's newly announced or upcoming capabilities have been designed with the intent to help organisations address growing data security challenges presented by increased cloud adoption and the prevalence of cyber threats. They are delivered with a focus on automation and central management to aid enterprises in achieving cyber resilience without adding architectural complexity.

ParadeDB takes on Elasticsearch as interest in Postgres explodes amid AI boom
Open source database management system Postgres is nearly 40 years old, but has recently started seeing explosive demand due to being very well-suited for AI applications. Despite this rise in popularity, search and analytics functionality remain limited. ParadeDB is changing that. ParadeDB is an open source Postgres extension that facilitates full-text search and analytics directly in Postgres without users needing to transfer data to a separate source. The platform integrates with other data infrastructure tools, including Google Cloud SQL, Azure Postgres, and Amazon RDS, among others. Philippe Noël, the co-founder and CEO of ParadeDB, told TechCrunch that he and his co-founder, Ming Ying, CTO, got the idea for the company by running into their own Postgres search woes while running their first startup, cloud-hybrid browser Whist. 'Postgres is becoming the default database of the world, and you still can't do good search over that information, believe it or not,' Noël said. 'There's just a lot of pain points. So we decided to go and start a company to do that after talking to more people and realizing this was a very shared problem.' ParadeDB isn't the first company to try to solve Postgres search. Open source Elasticsearch is the most notable legacy player in the space since it was founded in 2012. Noël said that Elasticsearch works by moving data back and forth between itself and Postgres, which can work, but this system isn't great for heavy workloads or processes that require frequent updating. 'That breaks all the time,' Noël said. 'The two databases are not meant to work together. There's a lot of compatibility issues, there's a lot of latency issues, higher costs, and all of that deteriorates the user experience.' ParadeDB claims to eliminate a lot of those challenges by building as an extension on top of Postgres directly, no data transfer required. The startup was founded in 2023 and released the first open source version of the product later that year. Noël said that the group wanted to focus first on building out the open source product before it thought about sales or marketing. That was short-lived. In early 2024, Chinese e-commerce giant Alibaba reached out and became ParadeDB's first customer in May 2024. From there, the company turned toward building out its enterprise version of the software. Now it works with enterprises, including Modern Treasury, Bilt Rewards, and TCDI, among others. ParadeDB just raised a $12 million Series A round led by Craft Ventures with participation from existing investors, including Y Combinator. The company will use the funds for hiring. ParadeDB is currently a team of four and is looking to grow to at least 10 employees. Some of the funds will also go to continue to improve the platform's user interface and analytics capabilities. Noël said the company wasn't looking to raise capital, but when Craft reached out to ParadeDB after being recommended to them by Supabase, the Postgres developer platform that has raised nearly $400 million of venture capital, they thought the timing made sense. 'It's clear people are recognizing that Postgres matters a lot, and they want to get behind it,' he added. Postgres' popularity is clearly on the rise if recent M&A is any indicator. The recent acquisitions of Crunchy Data by Snowflake and Neon by Databricks were both ploys for the acquirers to gain more Postgres offerings, Devin Pratt, a research director at IDC, told TechCrunch last month. 'It is widely used across the industry, and I would say that was one of the main targets for their acquisitions,' Pratt told TechCrunch at the time. 'The different strengths of Neon versus Crunchy [Data] were definitely debated between both companies and what would suit their companies best, but Postgres was their first goal in those acquisitions.' ParadeDB hopes it can ride this wave of interest. 'We think building on Postgres is actually a meaningful shift, right?' Noël said. 'Because that's where the data is, and you can make a meaningful dent in Elasticsearch's market share by meeting users where their data is, rather than building something that's marginally faster or marginally cheaper.'
