It’s 2026, Just Use Postgres | Tiger Data
Think of your database like your home. Your home has a living room, bedroom, bathroom, kitchen, and garage. Each room serves a different purpose. But they’re all under the same roof, connected by hallways and doors. You don’t build a separate restaurant building just because you need to cook. You don’t construct a commercial garage across town just to park your car.
That’s what Postgres is. One home with many rooms. Search, vectors, time-series, queues—all under one roof.
But this is exactly what specialized database vendors don’t want you to hear. Their marketing teams have spent years convincing you to “use the right tool for the right job.” It sounds reasonable. It sounds wise. And it sells a lot of databases.
