PostgreSQL—more relevant than ever
summary
PostgreSQL proves relevance with concrete wins: a permissive license that lets vendors and users redistribute and embed it, wide adoption like three Azure Postgres offerings and Cloud Spanner’s PostgreSQL compatibility layer, strong extensibility shown by PostGIS and early JSON support plus unique range types, and ongoing feature work such as the forthcoming MERGE command. It runs everywhere—on-prem, all major clouds, and Kubernetes (but Kubernetes adds real operational complexity for stateful, high-performance nodes).
