What PostgreSQL is
- A client/server relational database descended from Berkeley POSTGRES, governed by a contributor community, not a company.
- Its extension mechanism keeps absorbing categories: PostGIS for geospatial, TimescaleDB for time-series, pgvector for vectors.
- The trade is operational weight: autovacuum, bloat and a process per connection are yours to manage.
