Tembo for Startups

Growing my startup with the Postgres doesn't get any better, or more affordable, than this.

Program Overview

Tembo for Startups provides Tembo Cloud as a rich Postgres-based data services foundation for high-potential early-stage startups. Through an extensive catalog of Tembo Stacks and open source extensions, Tembo aims to unlock the full power of Postgres to your developers.

The program features heavy discounts for the first year, and ongoing discounts as you scale.

About Tembo

As startups grow, they can find themselves spending thousands per month on a fast-growing sprawl of data vendors. Our aim is to help you fight back against this.

Postgres (and its assimilation of 25+ years of database innovation) is the perfect tool to battle this; It is open-source, extensible, flexible, and available from many vendors (therefore, somewhat lock-in resistant).

However, most managed Postgres vendors provide a stripped-down version of Postgres that restricts developer creativity. Or a few specialized vendors provide a managed offering around a specific use case, but not a full spectrum of use cases.

Tembo is “multi-workload” Postgres and aims to integrate the entire Postgres OSS ecosystem, providing developers confidence to use Postgres however they like. It also packages and tunes Postgres for common use cases, as an open-source library of Tembo Stacks.
