AlloyDB is a GCP cloud native database with Postgres Kernel and custom storage. AlloyDB utilizes transaction logs to materialize storage blocks offline, offering high throughputs and resilient recovery. AlloyDB also supports replication to managed read pool instances. AlloyDB also has ability to materialize columns selected by ML models into column major formats and utilize them for efficient scans. Being able to do this in Postgres code leveraging extension mechanisms and without rewriting large parts of the code, is a testament to the well thought out design and architecture of Postgres.
