Scaling PostgresML to 1 Million Requests per Second

published on 2022/11/08

The question "Does it Scale?" has become somewhat of a meme in software engineering. There is a good reason for it though, because most businesses plan for success. If your app, online store, or SaaS becomes popular, you want to be sure that the system powering it can serve all your new customers.

At PostgresML, we are very concerned with scale. Our engineering background took us through scaling PostgreSQL to 100 TB+, so we're certain that it scales, but could we scale machine learning alongside it?

In this post, we'll discuss how we horizontally scale PostgresML to achieve more than 1 million XGBoost predictions per second on commodity hardware.
