The database we trust when data integrity actually matters
We've tried many databases. Some are faster, some are simpler, but when we need a database that absolutely will not lose or corrupt data, we use PostgreSQL. It's been around since 1996, and it's still the best at what it does. That's rare in tech.
ACID compliant, your data stays safe no matter what
From simple tables to complex relationships, it just works
Store structured and unstructured data in the same database
PostGIS, full-text search, and hundreds more built-in
PostgreSQL has been perfecting database technology for decades. Here's what we love:
Not every project needs PostgreSQL, but when they do, nothing else comes close:
When your data absolutely cannot be corrupted or lost
Banking apps, healthcare systems, e-commerce platforms
Complex queries and large datasets are PostgreSQL's specialty
Business intelligence, data warehouses, reporting dashboards
JSON support plus relational data in one reliable database
SaaS products, APIs, mobile app backends
The Best Part: It just never lets you down. We've had PostgreSQL databases running for years without a single data corruption issue. That's not luck, that's engineering excellence.
Learning Curve: SQL is SQL, so if you know databases, you know PostgreSQL. The advanced features take time to learn, but you don't need them all on day one. Start simple, grow as needed.
The JSON Thing: People say "use MongoDB for JSON data." We say use PostgreSQL with JSONB. You get JSON flexibility plus all the benefits of a real database. Best of both worlds.
For Businesses: Your database is the foundation of your application. A shaky foundation means a shaky business. PostgreSQL is the most solid foundation we know. Instagram scaled to billions of users on PostgreSQL. You'll be fine.
If you're building something that matters, something that can't afford data loss or corruption, use PostgreSQL. It's been the right choice for 25+ years, and it's still the right choice today.
