Why We Use PostgreSQL
PostgreSQL is our default database for virtually every new project. Its ACID compliance, rich indexing options (B-tree, GiST, GIN, BRIN), JSON/JSONB support, and excellent extension ecosystem make it handle the vast majority of real-world data requirements better than any alternative we have evaluated across 12 years.
Extensions We Use
- pgvector for AI embedding storage and similarity search
- TimescaleDB for time-series data on IoT and analytics projects
- PostGIS for geospatial queries on logistics and mapping applications
- pg_cron for scheduled database maintenance jobs
