# Hydra

Hydra is a real-time analytics database management system for Postgres. We seperate compute from storage to offer software engineers serverless analytics with autoscale, write isolation, automatic caching, and more. Shipping scalable projects on time series and event data has never been easier. Hydra is available for local development, cloud, and bare metal deployment.

Similarity graph

Local clusters rerank extracted product concepts and description terms. The generated graph remains the fallback for sparse descriptions: offline reciprocal product-similarity graph: extracted concepts + description terms + bounded category/affiliation boosts. Minimum fallback score: 0; max competitors: 6.
