Snowflake — the AI Data Cloud company — today announced at its annual Snowflake Summit 2025 its intention to acquire Crunchy Data, a leading provider of reliable open-source Postgres technology and products. The acquisition will integrate Snowflake Postgres into the AI Data Cloud, giving developers full access to Postgres capabilities alongside the robust governance, security, and operational standards required to build and run mission-critical AI applications.
Snowflake Postgres significantly simplifies how developers build, deploy, and scale production-ready AI agents and applications. It leverages Crunchy Data’s proven technology, designed to support the full lifecycle from development to deployment and operations for the most important enterprise workloads. Crunchy Data’s built-in performance metrics, scaling features, and powerful interfaces help developers accelerate the creation of new applications.
With Snowflake Postgres, customers and partners that currently use PostgreSQL to power their applications’ operational data can deliver faster results, operate more efficiently, and gain a competitive advantage as organizations increasingly adopt AI agents and intelligent automation.
“Our vision is to deliver the world’s most reliable and comprehensive data and AI platform to our customers,” said Vivek Raghunathan, SVP of Engineering at Snowflake. “Our proposed acquisition of Crunchy Data reinforces why Snowflake is the ultimate destination for enterprises’ data and AI needs. We are addressing a substantial market opportunity worth $350 billion and responding to a clear customer demand to bring Postgres into the Snowflake AI Data Cloud.”
