Crunchy Data is a privately held company based in Charleston, South Carolina that provides product and support services around the Open-source database PostgreSQL, including work for the United States Government Department of Defense under the TCSEC guidelines. Crunchy’s PostgreSQL Operator for Kubernetes supplies one of the resilient data store paths [1] in RedHat’s OpenShift platform, supporting applications like Quay[2] and Ansible Tower.[3]
PostgreSQL
Crunchy Data sponsors[4] core PostgreSQL development, including project committers[5] and members of its Core Team.[6] Crunchy employees lead work adding features to PostgreSQL and ecosystem software projects including PostGIS, pgBackRest, and the Java Database Connectivity driver.[7]
History
Crunchy Data was founded in 2012 by Bob and Paul Laurence to help security-conscious organizations operate PostgreSQL. PostgreSQL contributor and author Gregory Smith joined in 2013.
Crunchy's work allowed the US government to directly support PostgreSQL development and project committers Stephen Frost and Joe Conway followed. In 2015 PostgreSQL Core Team member Tom Lane joined.[8] Expansion added core member Jonathan Katz, committer Peter Geoghegan, and PostGIS lead Paul Ramsey.
In 2017 Crunchy Data co-authored the Security Technical Implementation Guide (STIG) for PostgreSQL with the Defense Information Systems Agency to define how PostgreSQL can be deployed and configured to meet security requirements for government systems.[9] In 2018, in collaboration with the Center for Internet Security, Crunchy Data co-authored the PostgreSQL CIS Benchmark describing how PostgreSQL can be configured and deployed to meet security requirements for their systems.
In 2019 Crunchy's PostgreSQL Operator was part of RedHat's launch of its Operator Hub.[10]
In 2021, Crunchy Certified PostgreSQL received Common Criteria certification at the EAL 2+ level for the commercially supported distribution of PostgreSQL 12.[11]
