PostgreSQL

Combine filters →

PostgreSQL is an open-source relational database server with strict standards compliance and extensions such as full-text search, JSON columns and geospatial types. Managed PostgreSQL is offered by most cloud providers and many platforms, though less often on classic shared hosting. Software that uses PostgreSQL-specific features may run only on it. A record holds this value when its documentation lists PostgreSQL as a supported database.

120 projects support PostgreSQL, listed alphabetically. Mostly APIs and backends, web frameworks and e-commerce, of 18 categories in all. 122 records do not record this field, and cannot appear here either way. For 317 the question does not apply. Counts only projects with momentum; the full list has the rest.
