Postgres attribution: run attribution on your Postgres data
AttriByte connects to any Postgres-compatible database and runs six attribution models on the marketing and conversion data already living there. Works with self-hosted Postgres, RDS, Aurora, Supabase, and more.
Setup
Connected in four steps, no pipeline required
AttriByte connects to your Postgres database using standard SSL connections and a read-only role. No foreign data wrappers, no logical replication, and no extensions required.
Create a read-only role
In Postgres, create a role and grant SELECT on the schemas AttriByte needs. Assign the role to a dedicated user for AttriByte.
Allowlist AttriByte IPs
Add the AttriByte static egress IPs to your pg_hba.conf or security group rules. SSL connections are required and enforced.
Map your event tables
Use the schema mapper to identify your touchpoint, session, and conversion tables. AttriByte validates data types and flags missing columns.
Attribution runs in your database
AttriByte sends parameterized SQL to your Postgres instance. Only aggregated result sets leave your database; raw rows never do.
Compatibility
Works with any Postgres-compatible database
AttriByte uses standard Postgres wire protocol. Any database that accepts a Postgres connection string works.
Self-hosted Postgres
Any Postgres 12+ instance accessible over the network.
Amazon RDS for Postgres
Managed Postgres on AWS with automated backups.
Amazon Aurora (Postgres)
Aurora Postgres compatible clusters on RDS.
Google Cloud SQL (Postgres)
Cloud SQL instances running the Postgres engine.
Supabase
Supabase projects expose a standard Postgres connection string.
Neon
Serverless Postgres with branching and auto-scaling.
Data residency
Your Postgres data stays where it is
AttriByte connects over SSL, issues read-only parameterized SQL, and collects aggregated result sets. Raw rows, PII, and revenue records remain in your Postgres instance. No pg_dump, no logical replication slot, and no data exported to a staging area.
This is particularly valuable for early-stage companies that store product events and CRM data directly in their application Postgres database. You can run attribution on the same database your product reads from, without a separate warehouse migration.
- Read-only role, no INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE
- SSL required, TLS 1.2 minimum
- Parameterized queries, no SQL injection surface
- Compatible with connection poolers (PgBouncer, pgpool)

Real-world scenario
Attribution before the warehouse migration
A Series A SaaS company tracks product usage events in their application Postgres database on RDS. Their CRM data lives in a separate Postgres schema, synced hourly from HubSpot. Their data team is planning a migration to Snowflake, but the timeline is six months out.
The marketing team cannot wait six months for attribution. They connected AttriByte to their RDS Postgres instance in an afternoon. AttriByte mapped the product event schema and the CRM schema, and the team had W-shaped attribution by end of day.
When the Snowflake migration happens, switching AttriByte to the new warehouse is a 15-minute reconnection. The attribution history and dashboards carry over without reconfiguration.

FAQ
Postgres attribution: common questions
- Does AttriByte export data from my Postgres database?
- No. AttriByte connects over SSL, runs read-only SQL, and receives aggregated result sets. Raw rows and PII remain in your Postgres instance. No pg_dump or logical replication is used.
- Which Postgres versions are supported?
- AttriByte supports Postgres 12 and newer. If you are on an older version, the AttriByte support team can advise on compatibility during onboarding.
- Can I use a connection pooler like PgBouncer?
- Yes. AttriByte is compatible with PgBouncer in session or statement pooling mode. Transaction pooling mode is also supported for most attribution queries.
- Does AttriByte work with Supabase?
- Yes. Supabase projects expose a standard Postgres connection string. You can connect using the direct connection or the Supabase connection pooler (Supavisor). Use the read replica endpoint if available.
- What if my marketing data is in a different database than my CRM data?
- AttriByte supports multiple simultaneous Postgres connections on Business and Enterprise plans. You can map event tables from one database and conversion tables from another, and AttriByte joins them at query time.
- How does pricing work for Postgres?
- Postgres connectivity is included on all plans. Growth starts at $1,200/month for up to 100K monthly tracked profiles. Business starts at $3,500/month for up to 500K profiles.
