> But when you get locked into Oracle and it makes it nearly impossible to move because of the features your relying on, has a big effect on shaping your perspective on this. I hear you. Picking a database is major decision and shouldn't be made lightly. That being said, I hear a lot of companies are successfully migrating from Oracle to Postgres these days. And in fact, this application was actually migrated from Couchbase to Postgres, but that's a story for another day perhaps :). > That is very impressive. Mind sharing the rate of change across all of those rows? Nowadays its about 5 million inserts / day with peak rates of 150 inserts / sec. Not too crazy, but it adds up over time :). > Also, I'm curious. Is this all that DB instance does? Or is it responsible for other data as well? It does a few other things, but this is the main workload.
