What PostgreSQL is
PostgreSQL is a client/server relational database descended from Berkeley POSTGRES, governed by a contributor community rather than a company. Its extension mechanism is the reason it keeps absorbing adjacent categories: PostGIS made it a geospatial database, TimescaleDB a time-series one, and pgvector a vector store. The trade is operational weight, autovacuum, bloat and a process per connection are yours to manage.
