Percona Transparent Data Encryption (pg_tde) 1.0 (Generally Available) has been released

pg_tde is an open source extension for PostgreSQL that provides data encryption at rest.

Try it out using the installation guidelines and leave your feedback.

This release marks the GA version of pg_tde.

  • pg_tde 1.0 is now GA (Generally Available)

    And stable for encrypting relational data in PostgreSQL using Transparent Data Encryption (TDE). This milestone brings production-level data protection to PostgreSQL workloads.

  • WAL encryption is still in Beta

    The WAL encryption feature is currently still in beta and is not effective unless explicitly enabled. It is not yet production ready. Do not enable this feature in production environments.

  • Upgrade considerations

    pg_tde 1.0 is not backward compatible with previous pg_tde versions, like Release Candidate 2, due to significant changes in code. This means you cannot directly upgrade from one version to another. You must do a clean installation of pg_tde.
