PostgreSQL

PostgreSQL is an open source database management system that supports SQL (relational) and JSON (non-relational) queries. This system is often used for data storage purposes for various applications: mobile, desktop, geospatial and analytical.

PostgreSQL is one of the best-known alternatives to commercial databases, and it has quite a wide range of functionality. With PostgreSQL you can manage records as well as send transactions.

Who can use PostgreSQL?

This database management system is used by people working with databases and IT infrastructures, for example:

• administrators and database developers who maintain and support the database;
• DevOps engineers in order to provide a working infrastructure for the project;
