We have worked with various databases including SQL Server and MySQL, but I found PostgreSQL on Ubuntu to be the most cost-effective and most performance-friendly solution.
PostgreSQL on Ubuntu offers a reliable, scalable solution from 1,000 to 10 lakh users, excelling in data retrieval and cost-effectiveness. While performant against SQL Server and MySQL, its complexity and slower speeds highlight a need for improved flexibility. Enhanced index management can boost reliability without major system changes, though some queries differ from SQL Server. Clarity in its structure aids new team members in understanding and fulfilling RDBMS requirements efficiently.
