Choose it for
- Transactional core systems with foreign keys, check constraints and real transactions
- Mixed workloads: relational tables alongside JSONB documents in the same query
- Similarity search over embeddings with pgvector, without a second database alongside
- Geospatial data with PostGIS, time series with native range partitioning
Do not choose it for
- Analytical queries over billions of rows — ClickHouse is orders of magnitude faster for this
- As a high-throughput queue; SKIP LOCKED goes a long way, but not as far as Kafka
- Pure session or page cache, for which memory is sufficient
- Extensions
- pgvector, PostGIS, pg_cron, pg_partman
- Connection pooler
- upstream, transaction mode
- Read replicas
- up to 5, also cross-region
- Recovery point
- to the second (PITR)
