PostgreSQL: a Tipping Point?!

“the culmination of a build-up of
small changes that effects a big
change”
--Malcolm Gladwell

Change: The Press’ Opinion...!

Change: What Does Gartner Say?!
u  The use of OSS is now broad and common in many other areas of software
infrastructure (e.g., databases and application servers)
u  We continue to see an increase in usage in mission critical applications,
especially given the added functionality and stability of new releases of both MySQL
from Oracle and Postgres Plus from EnterpriseDB
u  For general, non mission critical use, especially in support of Web applications,
OSDBMSs can be a good choice as they offer a lower total cost of ownership
(TCO), a growing number of DBA tools, simplified installs and a solid expertise base
u  For all OSDBMS usage, always purchase support options from a vendor in control of
the open source distribution. Do not use an OSDBMS for which support is offered
only through the open source software community
u  As the maturity of OSDBMSs for use in mission critical applications and data
warehouses grows, the cost savings from using OSDBMSs will increase
u  As tools become available to manage OSDBMSs, there will be increasing reductions
in the TCO, primarily from the lack of license fees and lower maintenance costs.
–  Donald Feinberg, Gartner Analyst in Hype Cycle for Open Source Software

Change: What do our customers say!

Change: PostgreSQL Technology Advances!
u  Greater scalability—past 64 cores
u  Web app features: hstore, JSON, unlogged tables
u  Index-only scans
u  Reduced power consumption
u  Cascading replication
u  Streaming replication
u  Synchronous replication
u  Range type support
u  More enterprise features on the way
"NewsBlur, a social news reader, relies on Postgres for storing
millions of sites and subscriptions. Solid and reliable for years,"
said Samuel Clay, founder of newsblur.com. "We're consistently
on the bleeding edge (9.1 now, moving to 9.2 soon for the
cascading replication alone) and it's been a pleasure since 8.4.”
