Why I Prefer PostgreSQL for Serious Applications

PostgreSQL offers a combination of relational modeling, powerful querying, transactions, indexing, constraints, and extensibility that makes it suitable for many production systems. The database should not simply be treated as a place to store JSON-like objects. Proper constraints, relationships, indexes, and transactions can move important correctness guarantees closer to the data. This often results in applications that are easier to reason about and safer to evolve.
