- We use PostgreSQL on all LeapServs to track information ranging from a couple hundred thousand rows to 20+ million.
- Lindsay Snider, founding partner BitLeap LLC
- PostgreSQL has the feature set of an enterprise level DBMS and should be strongly considered when researching both open source and commercial database servers.
- Lindsay Snider, founding partner BitLeap LLC
- Under loads heavy and light, with virtually no administration overhead, PostgreSQL chugs along and "just works".
- Benjamin Smith, CTO, Charterworks
- With our previous solution, we found it difficult to support databases over 50GB. Now, because of PostgreSQL, we are easily working with databases with 400GB+ of data and hundreds of millions of records... It has brought us to our markets spotlight and has played a primary role in our continuing growth of revenue.
- Joshua Marsh, Listfusion
- Etsy is the sum total of its data, so when it came to choosing where to store our critical information there was only one sound choice. PostgreSQL's strong emphasis on quality, stability, and data integrity contribute to making it the premier open source database.
- The Etsy Development Team, Etsy.com
- We believe that databases need to excel at more than simple selects to be useful for complex tasks and our positive experiences with PostgreSQL has done nothing but reinforce that philosophy.
- David McNett, Chief Information Officer, FlightAware.com
- There was quite a bit of debate when we were deciding what tools would best serve as the foundation of FlightAware's ambitious goals. For the underlying database, however, the choice to use PostgreSQL was quite clear from the very beginning.
- David McNett, Chief Information Officer, FlightAware.com
- Postgres is a truly awesome database. When we started working on Launchpad I wasn't sure if it would be up to the job. I was so wrong. It's been robust, fast, and professional in every regard.
- Mark Shuttleworth, Ubuntu Linux
- ... just like the FeedLounge guys I prefer PostgreSQL, and it's the database we'll be using for all future applications here at Joyent.
- Michael Koziarski, Joyent
- We have normally had a fix within 24 hours. Frankly, the [mailing list] support has been amazing.
- Kevin Grittner, Wisconsin Court System
- Overall, PostgreSQL has been faster than the commercial product from which we converted.

- "We have used PostgreSQL successfully for over two years in a mission-critical capacity to support our registry systems."
- Ram Mohan, Chief Technology Officer, Afilias Limited
- "For an application like FeedLounge, the faster counting and smaller row size of PostgreSQL are compelling reasons to use it instead of MySQL with InnoDB tables."
- Alex King, FeedLounge, http://feedlounge.com/
- “We are very strong supporters of technical innovation and creativity, virtues embraced by the PostgreSQL community and open source developers in general. We also like to keep abreast of bleeding-edge technological advancements, and believe that PostgreSQL is the frontrunner in the open source database marketplace.”
- Neil Whitney, Vice President, Development for Varicent
- "Our systems are deployed in high-availability environments and the combination of PostgreSQL on Linux has enabled us to deploy and support systems without any need for a large support team."
- Tim Allen, Senior Software Developer, Proximity Group
- "We consider the availability of source code a major advantage of using an open source database. We haven't had to go a fix any bugs ourselves, but we have peered at the source to satisfy ourselves as to how things work"
- Tim Allen, Senior Software Developer, Proximity Group
- "PostgreSQL 8.1 offers a huge performance increase pretty much across the board, [on our] dual processor Opteron production servers. More specifically, I'm seeing around 20% reduction in run times for simple queries and an additional 20% reduction in CPU load, for a staggering 20-40% improvement in server load characteristics."
- Merlin Moncure, Reliable Computer Solutions.
- "I can't say enough good things about PostgreSQL. From backups to application development to administration, PostgreSQL has been a joy to work with."
- Noel Proffitt, City of Garden Grove, California
- "PostgreSQL handles virtually all the standard SQL constructs. It is easy (relatively speaking) to administer, it is fast, it is efficient, it has a great API, and it supports ODBC, why would you choose something else?"
- Mark Woodward, Mohawk Software
- "The PostgreSQL group has a well deserved reputation for quality which has been evident to us since the very first public 8.0 beta we reviewed."
- Javier Soltero, Hyperic LLC
- The geospatial abilities of PostgreSQL enable TravelPost to create innovative travel research and community tools that would be cost-prohibitive or technically difficult to achieve on other platforms.
- Jon Asher, TravelPost.com
- "By default, PostgreSQL is probably the most security-aware database available ..."
- Database Hacker's Handbook
- "Open source and free PostgreSQL has the speed, compatibility, SQL, and features as sophisticated as the number one commercial database."
- Ferry Irawan, NewJavaSoft, Indonesia
