PostgreSQL

Extensible, standards-minded and open source, PostgreSQL has become the relational database developers pick when nothing forces another choice, with decades of development behind it and extensions such as PostGIS and pgvector. Back-end developers, data engineers and managed cloud services all build on it. Its defaults are conservative, and performance depends on indexes, query plans and vacuuming that newcomers rarely learn early.
