The price was not disclosed. [EDB](https://akta.pro/company-profiles/0000qqq/edb) sells a sovereign Postgres-based AI and data platform, and [Altinity](https://akta.pro/company-profiles/0000w2a/altinity) provides enterprise software, managed services and support for ClickHouse software. ## EDB's Altinity Deal and Integration Road Map EDB said the acquisition unites expertise in Postgres and ClickHouse software on EDB Postgres AI (PG AI), its open, sovereign AI data system. Altinity's engineers will join EDB's Postgres contributors and maintainers, and the combined teams will support a unified road map while sustaining contributions to both open source communities. EDB said it plans to introduce integrated enterprise ClickHouse capabilities in Q4 2026, with deployment spanning bring-your-own-cloud, developer cloud, self-hosted or on-premises on customer-managed Kubernetes or OpenShift, and physical far edge for air-gapped execution. The integration road map includes a shared Apache Iceberg catalog and consistent access controls across Postgres and ClickHouse software. Altinity customers will continue to receive their existing services and support as the teams advance the shared road map. "Having these two engines together in one multi-model data layer radically reduces costs for customers," said Kevin Dallas, CEO of EDB. Robert Hodges, CEO of Altinity, said joining EDB allows the company "to continue meeting our customers' needs while delivering new capabilities across AI, bring-your-own-cloud deployments, open lakehouse architectures, and real-time analytics." ## Altinity's ClickHouse Business at a Glance Altinity was founded in 2017 and serves customers such as The Trade Desk, Tubi, Kong, AppsFlyer, ZoomInfo and PostHog, according to the announcement. Its portfolio includes Altinity Stable Builds with long-term support and FIPS-compatible builds for regulated environments, Altinity Antalya Builds with storage, authorization and data lake integration, the Altinity Kubernetes Operator with more than 108 million Docker Hub pulls, and Altinity.Cloud, which supports deployments in customers' own cloud accounts. EDB said it is already the largest commercial contributor to Postgres and that Altinity is the number two independent contributor to ClickHouse software. ## EDB's Postgres AI Record Behind the Deal EDB launched Agentic Database and Converged Analytics features for EDB Postgres AI in June 2026, unifying transactional, analytical and AI agent workloads on a single Postgres base with zero-ETL architecture, according to akta.pro [company records](https://akta.pro/company-data). In March 2026 the company launched WarehousePG, an open-source petabyte-scale data warehouse built on Postgres with MPP architecture, targeting Snowflake and Databricks displacement with a claimed 58% lower total cost of ownership. The same records list 1,700+ enterprise customers worldwide and more than 30% of contributions to PostgreSQL among the nine largest contributors. ## EDB's Product Rollouts Before Altinity EDB previewed horizontal scaling for its PG AI Distributed database on October 29, 2026, using sharding to distribute writes across node groups, PR Newswire reported. On September 3, 2026, EDB held its PostgreSQL AI Summit Seoul 2026, introducing the Agentic Lakehouse platform that integrates transaction, analytics and AI workloads on a single Postgres platform, [Venturesquare](https://akta.pro/news-signals) reported.
