About:
PostgreSQL 17 is the latest major release of the world's most advanced open-source relational database. It introduces significant performance improvements, including a new query planner and enhanced memory management for high-throughput workloads. This formula provides a stable, production-ready installation for developing and deploying robust data-driven applications.
Key Features:
  • ACID-compliant transaction processing
  • Advanced indexing (B-tree, GiST, SP-GiST, GIN, BRIN)
  • Extensible architecture with custom functions and data types
  • Robust replication and high availability support
  • Powerful full-text search capabilities
Use Cases:

  • Online Transaction Processing (OLTP) systems
  • Complex data analysis and reporting
  • Geospatial data storage with PostGIS extension
Alternatives:
