PostgreSQL
The Database Enterprises Trust — Without the License Bill
Your data is the most valuable asset your application has — the database underneath it shouldn't cut corners. PostgreSQL has been the gold standard among open-source databases for more than 25 years: transaction-safe, extremely robust, and running in production at Apple, Instagram, and across the entire finance industry. All without a euro in license fees.
For you, that means enterprise-grade quality with no vendor lock-in. No license negotiations, no audit letters, no nasty surprises as your user base grows. PostgreSQL runs as a managed service with every cloud provider — from AWS RDS to European hosting partners — and just as well in your own data center.
We use PostgreSQL as the default database in most of our projects, and we lean on the strengths that go beyond classic SQL: JSON documents for flexible data structures, full-text search built into the database, geodata, and vector search for AI applications. Often, PostgreSQL replaces several specialized systems at once — less infrastructure, lower running costs.
What PostgreSQL means for your project
One system instead of many
Relational data, JSON documents, full-text search, and vector search for AI — PostgreSQL covers ground that would otherwise take several specialized systems. That means less complexity and lower running costs.
Your data, safely handled
Transaction safety, point-in-time recovery, and a permissions system refined over decades: PostgreSQL protects the most valuable asset your application has.
Costs you can plan around
No license fees, no price jumps as you grow. Whether you have 100 users or 100,000, database costs stay predictable and transparent.
