KEEPING THE LIGHTS ON

The everyday work of a healthy database — handled.

Most teams don’t need more features — they need the database to stay up, recover cleanly, and never lose data. That dependable, day-to-day operations work is the core of what we do.

High availability & failover

Multi-node clusters with automatic failover, so losing a node never becomes an outage.

Backup & restore

Scheduled backups and regularly tested restores — recovery you can count on, not just configure.

Replication

Streaming replication kept healthy and in sync across nodes and sites.

Data archival & retention

Ageing data archived and retained to policy — storage stays lean, audits stay clean.

Monitoring & patching

Proactive monitoring, alerting, and timely patching that catch issues before users do.

24/7 SLA-backed support

On-call response to agreed SLAs — your team doesn't have to carry the pager.

WHAT WE DO FOR SHAKTIDB

Run reliably first. Go further when you’re ready.

The everyday work of running ShaktiDB in production is the core of what we do — operations, recovery, and support that don’t slip. The deeper engineering is here too, the day you need it: migration, architecture, performance, and AI.

Managed operations

The day-to-day work of keeping ShaktiDB healthy in production — high availability and failover, backup, restore and point-in-time recovery, replication, data archival, and patching — run alongside your team with SLA-backed 24/7 on-call, on-prem or in your cloud.

AI WORKLOADS

Vector search on ShaktiDB, engineered for AI.

ShaktiDB is PostgreSQL-native, so pgvector works out of the box. We’ve taken it further — integrating FAISS for faster, higher-recall similarity search, tuning vector performance, and enabling GPU acceleration — so retrieval, RAG, and semantic search hold up at production scale. Udu Labs builds and advises on the full stack.

FAISS-accelerated

We integrate FAISS with pgvector for faster, higher-recall similarity search.

Tuned for scale

Index and query tuning that keeps vector search fast as your data grows.

GPU-ready

WHY UDU LABS

Database depth, platform experience.

Udu Labs is incubated at IITM Pravartak Technologies Foundation — the Technology Innovation Hub of IIT Madras, the same ecosystem in which ShaktiDB was built.

We’ve worked with ShaktiDB since its early stages, and now bring that first-hand depth to the teams adopting it.

SHAKTIDB’S ECOSYSTEM

IIT MadrasIITM PravartakC-DACMeitY

Insider depth

We know how ShaktiDB behaves in production, not just on paper.

Engine + platform

Database internals and enterprise architecture, DevOps, and HA at scale — the database and what it runs on.

PostgreSQL-native

Decades across the PostgreSQL ecosystem — migrations, replication, tuning, and managed operations.

HOW WE WORK

From understanding the problem to improving the solution.

The same approach across every engagement — migration, operations, architecture, or enablement. Iterative by design: we keep cycling back as your systems and the platform evolve.

01

Understand

We start with your problem, not a product — reviewing your systems, workloads, constraints, and goals, and agreeing what a good outcome looks like.

02

Plan & design

We map the work — scope, approach, risk, and timeline — and design the solution, whether that's a migration, an architecture, an operating model, or an enablement plan.

03

Deliver

We execute alongside your team — migration, deployment, hardening, or training — validated against the plan and handed over cleanly.

04

Improve

We stay engaged — monitoring, tuning, reviews, and upgrades — and feed what we learn back into the next round of work.

QUESTIONS, ANSWERED

What teams evaluating ShaktiDB ask us.

Is ShaktiDB just PostgreSQL?

ShaktiDB is built on PostgreSQL 17.4 and is fully compatible with the PostgreSQL ecosystem — SQL standards, extensions, drivers, and tools. It adds a unified security framework, multi-node high availability, and built-in compliance hardening for regulated, India-scale workloads. Your existing PostgreSQL skills and tooling carry over.

Can we migrate from our existing database?

Yes. We handle schema and stored-logic conversion, data migration with full verification, and a tested cutover with a rollback plan — the same engine-level migration work we've done across enterprise estates for years.

Do you offer round-the-clock support?

Yes — SLA-backed 24/7 on-call, backups, point-in-time recovery, failover, and patching for your ShaktiDB clusters, whether on-prem, on IBM LinuxONE, or in your cloud.

Can you help with DPDPA compliance?

Yes. Our Certified Data Protection Officers (CDPOs) advise on India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act — readiness assessment, discovering and classifying personal data, consent and data-retention controls, and the governance and audit support to operate compliantly on ShaktiDB.

Is ShaktiDB suitable for BFSI and government workloads?

It's designed for them. ShaktiDB aligns with RBI regulations, CERT-In's SBOM directive, and CCRA standards, with ACID-compliant transactions for core banking, UPI, payments, and regulatory reporting.

Can ShaktiDB power our AI and RAG workloads?

Yes. ShaktiDB is PostgreSQL-native, so pgvector works out of the box — and we've extended it, integrating FAISS for faster similarity search, tuning performance, and enabling GPU acceleration. We build and advise on retrieval, RAG, and semantic-search workloads on it, fully on-prem, including grounding a small language model on your own document corpus.

Do we have to migrate everything at once?

No. We typically phase adoption — start with a pilot or a single workload, run it in parallel, and expand once you're confident. You keep control of the pace and the rollback path at every step.

Can ShaktiDB run on our own infrastructure?

Yes. Deploy multi-node, on-prem or in your cloud, with built-in replication and high availability and no single point of failure. It's validated and fully supported on IBM LinuxONE.

ShaktiDB keeps India’s most critical data on indigenous infrastructure. We make sure it keeps running — from migration to multi-node HA to the 2 a.m. page.
