Built for Real Workloads
From AI-powered applications to healthcare systems, teams across industries rely on SynergyDB to consolidate infrastructure, power vector search and graph analytics, and ship faster — all without rewriting a single query.
Healthcare / EMR Systems
A regional hospital network runs clinical data in PostgreSQL for structured records, MongoDB for flexible patient documents, Redis for real-time bed tracking, and graph queries for care team relationships. Maintaining four separate databases means four sets of backups, four connection pools, four failure domains, and data that's perpetually out of sync. With SynergyDB, every department accesses the same patient data through its preferred protocol — from a single cluster.
Before — 4 Databases
4 separate backup strategies
4 connection pool configurations
Data sync pipelines across databases
4 different monitoring stacks
After — 1 SynergyDB Cluster

Each department accesses the same patient data via its preferred protocol:
-- Clinical team: PostgreSQL protocol
SELECT p.name, p.dob, v.vitals
FROM patients p
JOIN visits v ON v.patient_id = p.id
WHERE p.id = 'PT-7842'
AND v.visit_date > NOW() - INTERVAL '30 days'
ORDER BY v.visit_date DESC;// Patient Portal: MongoDB protocol
db.patients.findOne({
_id: "PT-7842"
}, {
name: 1,
allergies: 1,
medications: 1,
insurance: 1,
emergencyContacts: 1
});# Real-time bed tracking: Redis protocol
import redis
r = redis.Redis(host="synergy.hospital.internal")
# Check bed availability in ICU
available = r.scard("beds:icu:available")
r.smove("beds:icu:available",
"beds:icu:occupied", "ICU-12")
r.hset("bed:ICU-12", mapping={
"patient": "PT-7842",
"admitted": "2026-02-10T08:30:00Z"
})// Care team relationships: Graph protocol
MATCH (p:Patient {id: "PT-7842"})

Zero-Downtime SaaS Migrations
A growing SaaS company needs to migrate from PostgreSQL to MongoDB for schema flexibility as their product evolves. Traditional migrations mean months of dual-writes, data validation scripts, and a terrifying cutover weekend. With SynergyDB as the intermediary, old code keeps talking PostgreSQL while new microservices speak MongoDB — both hitting the exact same data. Migration becomes a gradual, reversible process instead of a big-bang event.
Phase 1
Deploy SynergyDB
Deploy SynergyDB alongside existing PostgreSQL. Import schema and data via live replication. Zero application changes required.
Phase 2
Redirect Reads
Point read traffic to SynergyDB. Old code still uses PostgreSQL protocol. Validate data consistency with shadow queries.
Phase 3
Redirect Writes
Redirect write traffic to SynergyDB. New services start using MongoDB protocol. Old services remain on PostgreSQL protocol unchanged.
Phase 4
Decommission Legacy
All traffic now flows through SynergyDB. Decommission the original PostgreSQL instance. Migrate remaining services to MongoDB protocol at your own pace.

Microservices Consolidation
An e-commerce platform has organically grown to five different databases: User Service on PostgreSQL, Product Catalog on MongoDB, Session Store on Redis, Recommendations on Neo4j, and Analytics on ClickHouse. Each database requires its own operational expertise, backup schedule, scaling strategy, and monitoring stack. The infrastructure team spends more time managing databases than building features. SynergyDB replaces all five with a single cluster — each microservice keeps its native driver, unchanged.
Before — 5 Databases
5 different scaling strategies
5 monitoring configurations
Complex cross-database networking
Inconsistent backup windows
5 vendor relationships
After — 1 SynergyDB Cluster
1 unified scaling knob
1 monitoring dashboard
Simple internal networking
Single consistent backup schedule
1 vendor, 1 invoice
Each service keeps its native driver — just change the connection string:
// User Service — PostgreSQL protocol
import { Pool } from "pg";
const pool = new Pool({
host: "synergy.internal", // was: pg-primary.internal
port: 5432,
database: "ecommerce",
user: "user_svc",
password: process.env.DB_PASS,
});
// All existing queries work unchanged
const user = await pool.query(
"SELECT * FROM users WHERE id = $1", [userId]
);// Product Catalog — MongoDB protocol
import { MongoClient } from "mongodb";
const client = new MongoClient(
"mongodb://synergy.internal:27017" // was: mongo-rs.internal
);
const db = client.db("ecommerce");
// All existing queries work unchanged
const product = await db
.collection("products")
.findOne({ sku: "WDG-4401" });73%

Legacy Modernization
An insurance company has a 15-year-old claims processing system built on MySQL. Rewriting it would cost millions and take years. Meanwhile, a new mobile app needs to be built with Node.js and MongoDB for rapid iteration. SynergyDB bridges both worlds: the legacy claims system continues to speak MySQL to the same tables it always has, while the modern mobile app speaks MongoDB to the same underlying data. No rewrite of the legacy system is needed.

Unified Engine
Both protocols hit the same storage engine and data
Modern Apps (MongoDB)
Without SynergyDB
- ✕Full rewrite of claims system (~$2M, 18 months)
- ✕Risk of data loss during migration
- ✕Regulatory re-certification required
- ✕Business logic regression testing across 15 years of edge cases
- ✕Dual-running systems during transition
With SynergyDB
- ✓Legacy system untouched — zero code changes
- ✓New mobile app ships in weeks, not months
- ✓No regulatory re-certification needed
- ✓Gradual modernization at your own pace
- ✓Single source of truth for all applications

Real-Time Analytics
A logistics company needs real-time dashboards on operational data — shipment volumes, delivery ETAs, fleet utilization, route efficiency. The traditional approach is building ETL pipelines to copy data from the OLTP system into a separate data warehouse, adding hours of latency and enormous infrastructure cost. SynergyDB's built-in columnar storage layer handles analytical queries directly on operational data, eliminating the need for separate OLAP infrastructure entirely.
Before — Traditional ETL Pipeline
2-24 hour data freshness lag
ETL pipeline maintenance burden
Duplicate storage costs
Schema drift between OLTP and OLAP
3 additional infrastructure components
After — SynergyDB Direct Analytics

Operational writes and analytical reads, same cluster, same data:
// Operational write — row-optimized storage
await db.query(`
INSERT INTO shipments
(id, origin, destination, status,
carrier_id, weight_kg, eta)
VALUES ($1, $2, $3, 'in_transit',
$4, $5, $6)
`, [shipmentId, origin, dest,
carrierId, weight, eta]);
// Real-time status update via Redis protocol
await redis.hset(`shipment:${shipmentId}`, {
lat: gpsData.lat,
lng: gpsData.lng,
speed: gpsData.speed,
updated: Date.now()
});// Analytical query — columnar-optimized scan
// No ETL, no warehouse, just query directly
const stats = await db.query(`
SELECT

AI-Powered RAG Applications
Building a Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) app typically requires a vector database for embeddings, a relational database for metadata, and a document store for the original content — plus sync pipelines between all three. With SynergyDB, you store vectors, metadata, and documents in one engine with full ACID guarantees. Built-in HNSW indexing, OpenAI/HuggingFace embedding integration, and LangChain compatibility make it the ideal foundation for AI applications.
Before — 3+ Databases
3 separate databases to manage
Sync pipelines for vectors ↔ metadata
No ACID transactions across stores
Stale embeddings when source docs update
After — 1 SynergyDB Cluster

# 1. Generate embedding via built-in API
emb = requests.post(
"http://synergydb:8080/v1/embeddings",
json={"input": content,
"model": "text-embedding-3-small"}
).json()["data"][0]["embedding"]
# 2. Store everything in one transaction
requests.post(

json={"query": f"""
INSERT INTO documents
(id, content, embedding)
VALUES ('{doc_id}', '{content}',
