Hi My company, EDF, is very interested in Percona’s pg\_tde. Is there a planned date for its production release in 2025? ---

I am happy to share that the general availability for pg\_tde extension is planned for June. That means what you can expect - a release planned for today! 🙂 Have you already tried the solution? Would love to learn about your experiences! ---

Hi I am going to try the solution soon. I would like to know if it is possible to use pg\_tde with linux RHEL 8. Where can i get the .rpm package ? ---

Is there a planned version of Percona pg\_tde that’s compatible with the PostgreSQL community edition? this point is very important for my firm because we have more than 5000 postgresql community edition instances ---

We have publicly submitted patches to the pgsql community to make it compatible, but there is no guarantee the maintainers of pgsql will accept our patches. Percona Distribution for PostgreSQL is a version-to-version drop-in replacement for community pgsql. With that many instances, I assume you have good infrastructure management (eg: ansible, terraform, etc). It’s as simple as stop pgsql, install percona pgsql, start pgsql. ---

@kashif_javed I’m not sure where you got that information, but it is incorrect. > **[Percona Transparent Data Encryption for PostgreSQL - pg\_tde 1.0 (2025-06-30)](https://docs.percona.com/pg-tde/release-notes/release-notes-v1.0.html)** > > The pg\_tde by Percona extension brings in Transparent Data Encryption (TDE) to PostgreSQL and enables you to keep sensitive data safe and secure. - **`pg_tde` 1.0 is now GA (Generally Available)** - This milestone brings production-level data protection to PostgreSQL workloads. ---
