Summary

Our love for PostgreSQL runs deep. We built our products on PostgreSQL, are proud members of the community, and wouldn’t exist without it and the extensibility it provides.In 2019, Timescale launched the first State of PostgreSQL report, advancing our desire to provide greater insights into the specificities and features useful to the PostgreSQL community. Following a one-year hiatus due to the pandemic and after the 2021 survey submissions, we released the 2021 report.We are pleased to announce that the 2022 survey is now open for submissions! We are keen to learn more about how you use PostgreSQL for work and personal projects, how you deploy it, and how we can collectively improve it.✨Help us give back to this awesome group: answer survey questions and share with other PostgreSQL users. We are excited to hear your thoughts and spark a conversation that will keep us moving forward and building better things together. 🙌 We will share our report (as well as give you full and free access to the survey’s anonymized raw data) in July. Thank you for being a part of the community! Take the 2022 State of PostgreSQL survey PostgreSQL usage is growing, with around 67% of developers saying they use it more or much more compared to 52% in 2021. The primary use case for PostgreSQL developers is building applications, which accounts for 70% in both 2019 and 2021. Community contribution is also increasing, with 11% of respondents claiming to contribute their code to the database in 2021. Developers cited reliability and SQL as the main reasons they use PostgreSQL. The way developers deploy PostgreSQL is changing, with a shift towards self-managed data centers and private clouds, particularly in 2021. Timescale aims to provide insights into the specificities and features of the PostgreSQL community and would like to hear from users about their experiences and suggestions for improvement.
