PostgreSQL is a widely used open-source relational database, known for its standards support and extensions, and offered as a managed service by most cloud providers and many specialists. Buyers comparing PostgreSQL services should look at compatibility with community releases, extension support, high availability, upgrades and the cost of storage and replicas.

Frequently asked questions
Is a PostgreSQL-compatible database the same as PostgreSQL?
Not always. Some services run community PostgreSQL. Others use their own storage or engine behind the PostgreSQL protocol and SQL dialect, with differences in extensions, features or behaviour. Test your own workload and extensions before committing.
Can PostgreSQL handle vector search?
Yes, through extensions that add vector types and indexes. It is a common choice for teams adding retrieval to applications that already run on PostgreSQL.
What should we check in a managed PostgreSQL service?
Supported versions and how quickly new ones arrive, the extensions available, failover behaviour, backup and point-in-time restore, connection limits, and how major version upgrades are handled.
