PostgreSQL

An advanced open-source relational database with strong support for complex queries, JSON, and geospatial data.

Discuss your project

PostgreSQL matches MySQL's reliability while adding stronger support for complex queries, full-text search, JSON columns, and geospatial data via PostGIS — useful for projects with more advanced data requirements.

We choose Postgres over MySQL specifically when a project needs those advanced features, or when it's already the standard on a platform we're building on top of, like Supabase.

Where we use it

How we use PostgreSQL

Complex querying

Projects that benefit from advanced SQL features, window functions, and full-text search.

Geospatial data
