Snowflake Acquires Crunchy Data to Bring Enterprise Ready Postgres Offering to the AI Data Cloud

“We built Crunchy Data with the vision to become a Postgres solution of choice for leading enterprise organizations. Our deep-rooted commitment to stringent security and comprehensive compliance has made us the trusted Postgres partner for organizations across regulated industries, including federal agencies, Fortune 500 financial institutions and high-scale SaaS companies,” said Paul Laurence, Co-Founder at Crunchy Data. “We’re excited to join forces with Snowflake to provide their customers who already rely on Postgres the ability to run mission-critical regulated workloads with increased confidence and security on the Snowflake platform.”

With the closing of this acquisition, Snowflake will make a strong commitment to the Postgres community as well as support existing Crunchy Data customers, while integrating Crunchy Data’s capabilities into Snowflake Postgres. Snowflake Postgres represents a further advancement in Snowflake’s journey to support transactional data that began with Unistore, which unifies transactional and analytical data within a single database in Snowflake. Snowflake Postgres complements Unistore by providing companies with an enterprise-ready solution for transactional applications that require PostgreSQL compatibility.

Snowflake Postgres will be available soon in private preview.

“Snowflake’s platform serves as the foundation for Blue Yonder’s vast amount of supply chain data. Bringing PostgreSQL technology into the Snowflake ecosystem is an opportunity for our development teams to accelerate and simplify benefits for our customers,” said Chris Burchett, Senior Vice President, Generative AI, Blue Yonder.

“Access to a PostgreSQL database directly within Snowflake has the potential to be incredibly impactful for our team and our customers, as it would allow us to securely deploy our Snowflake Native App, LandingLens, into our customers’ account. This integration is a key building block in making it simpler to build, deploy, and run AI applications directly on the Snowflake platform,” said Dan Maloney, CEO, LandingAI.

Closing of the acquisition is subject to receipt of required regulatory approvals and customary closing conditions.
