# Welcome to Hydra

> Serverless Analytics on Postgres.

Hydra is a real-time analytics database management system for Postgres. We separate compute from storage to offer software engineers a powerful analytics columnstore with serverless processing, autoscaling, write isolation, automatic caching, and more.

Hydra is available for [local development](/guides/local_development), [cloud](https://docs.hydra.so/guides/deploy_cloud), and [bare metal deployment](https://docs.hydra.so/guides/bare_metal). Shipping scalable projects on time series and event data has never been easier.
