PostgreSQL
Primary relational database
About this program
The database behind identity, monitoring, archiving and design services. Point-in-time recovery, streaming replication and a query planner that holds up under real load.
Features
- ACID transactions with MVCC
- Point-in-time recovery via WAL archiving
- Streaming and logical replication
- JSONB, full-text search and rich indexing
Why we chose it
Because we standardise on one database instead of five. PostgreSQL covers relational, JSON and search workloads well enough that adding a second engine needs justification.
