Using PostgreSQL in real life
summary
PostgreSQL runs everywhere: city government runs 500 Postgres databases for housing, banks and embassies use Postgres for critical records, energy markets rely on electricity trading stored in Postgres, ski resorts use PostGIS plus GPS to measure snow volumes, and mobile money systems in Africa move value over Postgres. Open source gives digital sovereignty so hospitals and utilities keep running even under sanctions. A commercial stack (Kubernetes automation, migration tooling, low‑code platforms) sits on top, and tiny bug fixes can affect hundreds of live systems.
