pgEdge Starfleet is an enterprise Postgres platform designed to build AI applications directly on standard Postgres and move them from prototype to production across cloud and on-premises environments. It provisions Postgres databases in under two minutes and integrates agentic tools (Claude Code, Cursor, Replit) through a built-in MCP server with SafeSession to enforce true read-only permissions. Retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) and similarity search are native via pgvector and BM25 hybrid search, and a built-in RAG server lets teams run full retrieval pipelines without external data stacks. Developers can create copy-on-write branches for each agent, pull request, or test workload to isolate experiments and clone production data for safe development.
The platform emphasizes production readiness and operational consistency: it runs on unforked, community Postgres so existing extensions and tooling transfer without replatforming, and it supports managed, BYO cloud, or fully self-hosted/air-gapped deployments. Security defaults include IP allowlisting and guarded agent access, while availability features offer multi-region automated failover, optional active-active replication, and zero-downtime maintenance. Pricing begins with a 14-day free trial and plans from $25/month, targeting teams that want to iterate at developer speed and scale to enterprise compliance and reliability.
