Postgres (PostgreSQL) is gaining in popularity. I see it from the customers I interact with, who last year voted Postgres as the number-one new database they wanted support for on SolarWinds’ THWACK user community, and in the DB-Engines rankings, where Postgres has been climbing steadily and is ranked number four in popularity. Most customers I talk with have added Postgres to the mix of databases they already have, but I’ve also seen organizations use Postgres as the primary database.
