Just added: Watch RegattaDB vs. PostgreSQL: 8.6x Faster Inserts, 25x Faster Scans

Our CTO, Erez Webman, recently published "When Rows Outgrow the Page: RegattaDB vs. PostgreSQL TOAST," and it has drawn a lot of attention. The post deals with a hot topic: how databases hold up when agentic AI produces rows that are both large and constantly updated.

We've now added two short videos that show the results side by side, so you can watch the performance difference for yourself.

The test used 30 million rows of about 10KB each, identical bare-metal servers, a tuned PostgreSQL 18.3 and full ACID on both sides.

So what do the videos show? They capture two key phases of the benchmark:

8.6x faster inserts. RegattaDB inserted all 30M rows in 2.5 minutes, compared with almost 22 minutes for PostgreSQL.

Watch side by side: 8.6x faster inserts

25x faster scans after 1.2 billion updates. On a fresh table, RegattaDB scanned in 50 seconds and PostgreSQL in 136 seconds. Then came the updates. PostgreSQL's scan time ballooned from 136 seconds to 24.5 minutes, nearly 11x slower than its own starting point. RegattaDB still finished in just 59 seconds and held steady through 2.4 billion updates.

It's deeply technical and doesn't pull punches. Written by engineers, for engineers.
