PostgreSQL
PostgreSQL is our default database for applications that need robust data modeling, transactions, and query flexibility. We design schemas and indexes so your data stays consistent and performant.
PostgreSQL is an open-source relational database with a strong reputation for reliability, standards compliance, and advanced features. We use it for most greenfield projects: it supports complex queries, JSON columns when we need flexibility, full-text search, and strict ACID transactions so your data stays consistent under load.
We design schemas with migrations (e.g. with Prisma, Drizzle, or Django migrations) so every change is versioned and repeatable. We also plan for backups, point-in-time recovery where needed, and read replicas or connection pooling when traffic grows. For smaller projects we often use managed Postgres (e.g. Vercel Postgres, Supabase, or AWS RDS) so you get reliability without running the database yourself.
- •ACID and complex queries
- •JSON and full-text search
- •Migrations and backups
- •Scaling and replication
Why Postgres
Postgres gives us a single database that can handle relational data, JSON, and full-text search without adding multiple data stores too early. Its extension ecosystem (e.g. PostGIS for geo) means we can grow into specialized needs. For most apps, Postgres plus good indexing and connection management is enough to scale to significant traffic.
- •Reliable transactions and data integrity
- •JSONB and full-text search in one database
- •Migrations and schema versioning
- •Managed options (Vercel, Supabase, RDS) for easy ops
