POSTGRES

postgresql.org · Berkeley, United States of America

PostgreSQL, often referred to as Postgres, is an open-source relational database management system developed and maintained by the global PostgreSQL community under the governance of the PostgreSQL Global Development Group. It provides an enterprise-grade SQL database with advanced features such as extensibility, ACID compliance, and support for complex data types, and is used by organizations of all sizes as the core data layer for applications and analytics. The project is funded through sponsorships, donations, and commercial support and services offered by third-party companies in the ecosystem rather than direct software licensing revenue.

What customers say

Reliability and Transactional Integrity
“I rely on Postgres for financial data because it ensures that transactions and constraints are enforced under pressure, rejecting bad data at the storage layer.”
Extensibility and Advanced Features
“Postgres enables seamless integration of new use cases, like JSONB for flexible schemas and pgvector for AI, letting us avoid adding new infrastructure.”
Open-source cost advantage
“One of the main reasons we chose Postgres was the cost—it’s open source and easier to use than MySQL. Our team found it straightforward to build our application with it.”
