Postgres continues to climb, as proven by the Stack Overflow Developer Survey

Postgres, the open-source database technology has steadily gained traction across multiple industries, growing in popularity thanks to its continuous improvement by a dedicated community of open-source developers and contributors. This is even more impressive when considering that this has been against a competition of some of the largest legacy technology vendors, who have dominated the realm of databases for many years. The Stack Overflow Developer Survey is a top go-to for database professionals.

Stack Overflow — trusted online knowledge base for developers — demonstrates the emergence of Postgres through the publication of their annual surveys where they take input from tens of thousands of developers and collate the reports of the findings.

In 2023, the Stack Overflow Developer Survey presented the results of contributions from 77,000 responses, and for the first time since they began these surveys, Postgres took the top spot with 45.6% of votes.

As you can see, these result demonstrate how Postgres remains the most popular, admired, and desired database out there.

Following this endorsement, the industry eagerly awaited to see if this vote of confidence could be repeated. Stack Overflow released the 2024 edition of their developer survey — where Postgres won again with an even more votes!

As a result, in this highly competitive marketplace, Postgres is an increasingly popular and highly trusted technology.
