Why PostgreSQL Is the Bedrock for the Future of Data

What's this blog post about?

PostgreSQL is emerging as the de facto database standard due to its rock-solid foundation, versatility through native features and extensions, and ability to replace complex data architectures with straightforward simplicity. It has taken the top spot from MySQL in popularity among professional developers. The growth of ubiquitous computing has led to a Cambrian explosion of databases, increasing software complexity and slowing down development. PostgreSQL is becoming a platform that can be used for reliability, scalability, data analysis, and more, allowing developers to spend less time on the plumbing and more time building the future.
