Open Source [[Database#Relational|Relational Database]], from UC Berkley. This is what I learned in College. ## Interesting Features Postgres is interesting because unlike a standard database, data is [[Object Oriented Programming|Object Oriented]]! You can make custom types, extend them with polymorphism, whatever you need to. Non-conflicting transactions can run at the same time, which increases performance. ### Useful Extensions Has extensions, which are binary modules that extend Postgres. * Uber uses GIS data through Postgres, as an example * Citus: Allows Postgres to support [[Sharding]] a database. ## Cloud Solutions * Neon (Serverless, 10ms query time): https://neon.tech/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=fireship%2B_n2Fluyr3lbc&utm_campaign=tpvideo * Planetscale --- # References https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n2Fluyr3lbc
