# Percona-authored extensions

Percona-authored extensions provide additional capabilities that go beyond upstream PostgreSQL, enabling advanced observability and data-at-rest encryption. These extensions are developed and maintained by Percona and are designed to integrate seamlessly with Percona Server for PostgreSQL and Percona Distribution for PostgreSQL.

This page provides a high-level overview of the available Percona-authored extensions and the problems they are intended to solve. For detailed configuration and usage instructions, follow the documentation links provided for each extension below.

### :material-file-key-outline: pg_tde

An open-source extension designed to enhance PostgreSQL’s security by encrypting data files on disk. The encryption is transparent for users allowing them to access and manipulate the data and not to worry about the encryption process.
## :material-file-key-outline: pg_tde

An open-source extension designed to enhance PostgreSQL’s security by encrypting data files on disk. The encryption is transparent for users, allowing them to access and manipulate data without managing encryption details.

You can also use `pg_tde` to enforce encryption at the database level, ensuring that all newly created data is encrypted without requiring per-table changes.

# Percona Server for PostgreSQL

Percona Server for PostgreSQL is a binary-compatible, open source drop-in replacement for PostgreSQL {{pgversion}}. It introduces additional features to the upstream server, including:
Percona Server for PostgreSQL is a binary-compatible, open source drop-in replacement for PostgreSQL {{pgversion}}. It functions identically to upstream PostgreSQL, allowing you to [migrate](migration.md) seamlessly between the two.

* Storage Manager (SMGR) API Exposure: Allows PostgreSQL extensions to integrate custom storage managers. This change was inspired by the [patchset](https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/flat/CAJ7c6TOqqrzjYsU6LgDkcJ0yVgzdkx2juJjgAjzP2jPOpZ1qUA%40mail.gmail.com#8e68cfc57fcac14c8e24b00b41e61baf) introduced to the community.
* WAL Read/Write API Exposure to hook into WAL read and write functions.
It provides the foundation for additional capabilities, including data-at-rest encryption such as index-level and Write-Ahead Logging (WAL) encryption.

These modifications have no impact on existing use cases and operation of PostgreSQL. They are required to enable additional encryption capabilities such as index-level and Write-Ahead Logging (WAL) encryption of indexes through the [`pg_tde` :octicons-link-external-16:](https://docs.percona.com/pg-tde/index.html) extension. These encryption features provided by the `pg_tde` are still under active development and are planned for future releases.
For more information on Percona Server for PostgreSQL extensions that enable such capabilities, see the [Percona-authored extensions topic](percona-ext.md).

Percona Server and upstream PostgreSQL function identically enabling you to migrate from one to another.
For an overview of Percona Server for PostgreSQL solutions, such as high availability, backup and disaster recovery, spatial data handling, authentication, and data-at-rest encryption, see the [Percona Distribution for PostgreSQL solutions topic](solutions.md).
