Building with PostgreSQL
PostgreSQL is an open-source relational database. It supports standard SQL and transactions, and also stores JSON, so one database can hold both structured and flexible data.
What PostgreSQL Is Good At
- Mature and reliable, with strong SQL and transaction support.
- Built-in JSON support alongside relational tables.
- Extensions add features such as geospatial queries (PostGIS).
- Open source, and offered by many managed hosting providers.
Common Use Cases for PostgreSQL
- Apps with relational data, such as users, orders and subscriptions
- Reporting and analytics written in SQL
- Products that mix structured tables with JSON documents

Frequently Asked Questions About PostgreSQL
PostgreSQL or MySQL?
Both are solid choices. PostgreSQL is often picked for its extensions and JSON support, MySQL for its simplicity and wide hosting. Choose the one your team knows.
Do I have to run PostgreSQL myself?
No. Managed providers, including Supabase, run it for you, so you get backups and upgrades without managing a server.
