About:
PostgreSQL 16 is a powerful, open-source object-relational database system known for its reliability, feature robustness, and performance. It supports advanced data types, full ACID compliance, and complex queries, making it a standard for data integrity and scalability. This version introduces significant performance enhancements, including improved query parallelism and faster logical replication.
Key Features:
  • Advanced data types and full ACID compliance
  • Enhanced query parallelism and performance
  • Robust logical replication and high availability
  • Extensible via custom functions and data types
Use Cases:
  • Backing up and managing data for web applications
  • Complex data analysis and business intelligence
  • Core database for transactional systems
Alternatives:
  • mysql – Simpler configuration and faster read-heavy workloads, but less feature-rich for complex queries.
  • sqlite – Serverless and lightweight, ideal for local development but not suited for high-concurrency production environments.
