Multigres: One stop PostgreSQL Management and Scaling | Deepthi Sigireddi

Welcome to the Postgres World Webinar Series 2026. In this session, Deepthi Sigireddi from Supabase introduces Multigres, an open source project designed to bring Vitess-inspired scalability and management capabilities to PostgreSQL. PostgreSQL has become the database of choice for modern applications, but scaling beyond a single instance remains a challenge for many organizations. Multigres adapts the proven architecture behind Vitess to PostgreSQL, providing a framework for horizontal scalability, high availability, and intelligent sharding while maintaining compatibility with existing PostgreSQL applications. Deepthi walks through the Multigres architecture and core capabilities, including provisioning, connection pooling, cluster management, backup and restore, high availability, materialization, and sharding. The session also explores how Multigres aims to simplify the operational challenges of running PostgreSQL at scale. Whether you're operating a growing PostgreSQL deployment, building multi-tenant applications, or planning for future scale, this session provides a practical introduction to the architecture, design decisions, and roadmap behind Multigres. Speaker: Deepthi Sigireddi Organization: Supabase Deepthi has spent more than 20 years working with databases and distributed systems.
