Re: Success stories of PostgreSQL implementations in different companies

Thank you all of you for your answers! It helps me a lot because when I'm trying to convince a client to migrate to
PostgreSQLsometimes they think that because it's free, it only works for small databases for web or desktop
applicationswith a few users, while they blindly trust in oracle or sql server just because are propietary databases
(oracleis understandable, but sql server...) But with your examples and the links provided I can even create a document
recopilingthose success cases to encourage clients to implement Postgres.
 

Regards.

Don't forget Instagram. :)

We're not quite that size, but our financial PG system peaks at 18k TPS 
and handles roughly a billion queries per day.
