PostgreSQL, an open-source enterprise relational database, has a mature ecosystem with over 35 years of development. It's often overlooked due to its reputation and community, but it offers unique features such as PostGIS for spatial data, pg_stat_statements for performance optimization, and pg_repack for efficient table maintenance. Other notable extensions include Apache AGE for graph capabilities, groonga for full-text search, postgres_fdw for connecting databases, Citus for clustering and sharding, pldebugger for remote debugging, pgcrypto for security features, pgMemento for audit trails, and pg_storm for automatic GPU program generation. Additionally, TimescaleDB extends PostgreSQL with time-series functionality, while Timescale Cloud offers a managed service for free.
