Frequently asked questions

Is Postgres secure enough for highly regulated financial environments?chevron_right

Yes. Postgres is widely adopted in banking and financial services because of its proven security features such as role-based access control, auditing, and encryption. EDB extends this foundation with enterprise capabilities such as Transparent Data Encryption(TDE), integration with bank-grade security systems, and hardened distributions trusted by top global banks.

Can Postgres support high availability and disaster recovery (DR) for critical banking applications?chevron_right

Absolutely. Postgres provides strong native high availability and disaster recovery options, including replication and failover. EDB takes this further with enterprise-grade Always-On architecture, automated backup and recovery, and multi-region deployments—ensuring up to 99.999% uptime and resilience for critical financial workloads.

How does Postgres compare to Oracle in terms of compatibility and performance?chevron_right

Postgres has become a leading alternative to Oracle in financial services due to its flexibility and lower TCO. EDB enhances this with the industry’s most advanced Oracle compatibility features (PL/SQL, packages, triggers, and more), helping banks migrate complex Oracle workloads with minimal refactoring while improving performance and lowering costs.

What support and SLAs are available for mission-critical banking workloads?chevron_right

Postgres benefits from a large open source community, but financial institutions often need dedicated enterprise support. EDB provides 24/7 global support, proactive monitoring, and tailored SLAs—ensuring mission-critical workloads run securely and reliably with direct access to Postgres experts who understand banking requirements.

Can Postgres run in hybrid or multi-cloud environments?chevron_right

Yes. Postgres is flexible across on-premises and multi-cloud deployments, making it well suited for hybrid strategies in financial services. EDB builds on this by supporting AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, and private cloud infrastructure—giving banks the freedom to run workloads wherever compliance and performance demand. 

How scalable is Postgres for real-time financial workloads?chevron_right

Postgres has proven scalability for high-volume, data-intensive applications. EDB optimizes this further with features to support real-time analytics, trading platforms, fraud detection, and digital banking apps—delivering scale and performance across billions of transactions. 

What tools exist for modernizing Postgres in banking environments?chevron_right

Postgres includes native capabilities for schema changes and automation, but modernization can be complex in regulated industries. EDB provides an ecosystem of tools for schema migration, CI/CD integration, Kubernetes-native deployments (CloudNativePG), and automated tuning—helping banks modernize safely and efficiently.
