Postgres is the only RDBMS that is not backing companies into corners because so many products are forks of it or "speak" Postgres. You can completely swap out your database without changing any of your code. There is no other database that lets you shop around (or upgrade to a more specialized product) like that.
- vrosas 2y ago> You can completely swap out your database without changing any of your code Uhhhh in theory... maybe... not really. Switching PG out from under our relatively toy-ish SaaS product would be a huge undertaking.
