PostgreSQL overview

This section provides an overview of the hosted PostgreSQL offering from ObjectRocket.

What is PostgreSQL?

PostgreSQL is the most advanced open-source relational database on the market and has been in active development for 30 years. With robust features and a strong reputation for reliability and performance, it continues to outperform modern NoSQL document-oriented databases. PostgreSQL is flexible, robust, and has the track record your business needs. It is suitable whether you need a reliable Atomicity, Consistency, Isolation, and Durability (ACID) compliant datastore for e-commerce and web services, or want robust analytics processing for business intelligence.
