Overall Satisfaction with PostgreSQL
We are using PostgreSQL as a database for our microservices application. Since microservice is light by nature, performance is never a problem.
We have a lot of microservices applications since PostgreSQL is free, we could use as many database instances as we need without massive cost increase.
The main thing that we like is PostgreSQL supports the JSON column and query which is really useful in our use case.

- Support the JSON column and able to query by the JSON value.
- Free to use.
- Has fairly high performance.
- Installation and configuration can be difficult for first time users.
- Somewhat hard to upgrade/update, especially for major releases.
- Less online documentation and resources available compared to MySQL or SQL Server.
- Free to use, means that we can have as many database instances as we need without cost increase.
- JSON support is very helpful and saves quite a lot of time querying and searching for data.
- ACID compliance means with the right implementation and usage we can almost certainly trust the data.
PostgreSQL is rich in features and free to use which is perfect for our organization. PostgreSQL is our goto RDBMS if we want to create an application or services backend with the database if there's no specific requirement.
For example for the most important and largest database, we use SQL Server since we trust SQL Server and we might need dedicated support if things go wrong. Or if we are using third-party software that's only compatible with MySQL we are using MySQL, other than that we always use PostgreSQL by default.
