High-volume transactions have reduced failures and improve customer service efficiency
The best feature is performance, because of which I decided on PostgreSQL. I have also enabled the PG vector plugin on top of PostgreSQL. I have the opportunity to use two different features and two different flavors in a single product, which is the best thing about PostgreSQL. Initially, we had some hiccups around the performance part, but later we did indexing in PostgreSQL and now it is working very well. Even when we are doing 100,000 transactions in a day, PostgreSQL is working excellently. The interface is another best feature. If I need to do any query, I simply install the plugin on my local, which is pgAdmin. Through pgAdmin, I am able to communicate with PostgreSQL and execute all my SQL queries. I am getting a better UI with PostgreSQL as the backend, which is also one of the best options. PG vector is also very strong from PostgreSQL where I have implemented RAG and on a daily basis, I inject thousands of pages of PDF. More than 100 PDFs are coming into my system and one PDF is around 1,000 pages. We are injecting them into PostgreSQL and converting them into dimensions and inserting them into PG vector. The level of transactions we are doing on a daily basis is substantial, and we are getting very good throughput and low latency from PostgreSQL. When we were doing more than 50,000 transactions in a minute with the previous database, we were getting a lot of latency issues with threads getting blocked and abruptly closed unwantedly. After doing extensive research, we decided to move to PostgreSQL. Now, we are doing around 100,000 transactions in PostgreSQL and we are getting good throughput with no latency.

Rapid prototyping has transformed our city intelligence search into reliable production services
Weaviate Enterprise Cloud helps us achieve those results in Inteligencity Signal with an excellent SDK. The SDK allows developers to integrate with the cloud solution so that the search is very accurate, but also relatively simple to set up. There is not only speed and accuracy, but ease of setup, provided you are a developer. The SDK is the primary reason why we are using Weaviate Enterprise Cloud. Weaviate Enterprise Cloud is a good all-round product. The support is excellent. I have spoken to people there directly when we have had issues early on, but they were rectified. They also innovate, constantly creating updates and providing new features. They do not stand still. The best features Weaviate Enterprise Cloud offers include the good SDK, speed, and scaling. It is easy to scale as you can go from zero to massive scaling without encountering issues. Regarding Weaviate Enterprise Cloud's governance and security, it is good and pretty standard, with nothing that stands out security-wise. The standard approach makes things easy to integrate with what we are doing. We have not had any security issues, and we are not anticipating any. Regarding Weaviate Enterprise Cloud's accuracy and reliability of output, it is excellent. The reliability of output is very good, and it allows considerable tweaking as well, so we can be very specific in our requirements. The SDK is really excellent, so we can tweak responses and our use of it.
