PostgreSQL is a powerful open-source relational database known for reliability, extensibility, and SQL standards compliance. It supports complex queries, transactions, and large-scale data workloads.

What is it?

PostgreSQL is an open-source relational database management system (RDBMS) designed for robustness, correctness, and extensibility. It supports advanced SQL features and custom data types.

PostgreSQL stores and manages structured data with strong consistency guarantees. It supports complex queries, ACID-compliant transactions, indexing, constraints, and extensions for specialized workloads.

Where is it used?

PostgreSQL is widely used in SaaS platforms, enterprise systems, financial applications, geospatial systems, analytics platforms, and any application requiring reliable relational data storage.

When & why it emerged

PostgreSQL originated in the late 1980s as part of the POSTGRES project at UC Berkeley. It evolved into a modern open-source database to provide a powerful alternative to proprietary relational databases.

Why we use it at Internative

We use PostgreSQL for systems that require data integrity, complex querying, and long-term stability. Its extensibility and reliability make it ideal for business-critical applications.
