PostgreSQL is a great and powerful database system, used in the management of object-related databases, bringing great performances on concurrency, transactions, and schema controls.
At some point, we start having problems with very slow queries, and after some debugging we discover postgres decided to use the wrong index to perform the query plan.
PostgreSQL is by far the most user friendly and most advanced database system out of the top 5 popular choices.
And that makes it somewhat discredited when planning an application.
PostgreSQL is highly regarded for its robustness, scalability, and reliability, making it the perfect choice for businesses looking for a dependable and secure database.
Occasionally has a feature missing or delayed for want of development resources.
It is very robust and once set up it is easy to maintain and hard to break. PostgreSQL is completely free - there are no licencing fees of any kind, which makes it a great option for any project.
If your software requires over 10k transactions per second, you're gonna have to put in some serious work make Postgres scale. This is where Postgres becomes a pain to optimize.
I was able to get alot done in like 1 week, that has taken me like a decade to do. I was very pleased and happy user.
Google saw in our actions "suspicious activity" and blocked access to the resource. The site has stopped working, access to the engine has been blocked.
Google Cloud is easy to learn, simple to use, and provides comfort that the things important to you are safe and secure.
One must really drill down to find it and to understand how to stop being billed for services not needed. There needs to be more prompts to inform the user what they will be charged for.
Good Documentation: when it comes to documentation Google Cloud Platform really did a nice job there, every of their products and services has a good documentation for exploring.
There is a limit on how much storage you can have before you can pay, which limits you especially if you don't buy a plan.
I also like that it is secure and reliable making it a flexible solution. I access it as an API which increases the flexibility in reading and writing data.
In case you have low Internet speed at your workplace, you will surely struggle with this platform.
David Z.: My name's David, I'm a software developer in the audiovisual industry, and I would give PostgreSQL a five. We're using PostgreSQL to solve data persistence issues that we were having, as well as we're using it for business intelligence purposes to run various queries for our analytics and business intelligence divisions. What I like most about PostgreSQL is it's very easy to use compared to other SQL dialects, and very easy to deploy Docker containers. What I dislike most about PostgreSQL is that certain things like database vacuuming and other maintenance processes can be single threaded, which can cause a little more downtime than necessary.
Lyiana: My name is Lyiana. My job title is self-cleaning. I rate Google Cloud a four. I use Google Cloud for pictures, saving documents and everything, important papers, pretty much just pictures. Thing I like about Google Cloud is I like how it saves stuff and doesn't share your security or anything. Sometimes I don't like sometimes it doesn't save everything that needs to be saved and you have to redo it half the time. But, yeah.
Prioritize real-user-identified key features according to your needs to find your best fit.
