Unlock the advantages of PostgreSQL:
- Cost savings
Say goodbye to expensive licensing fees! Open-source databases like PostgreSQL are typically free to use and distribute (except for the Enterprise editions), freeing up your budget for other strategic initiatives. - Licensing freedom
Embrace the flexibility to modify, customize, and distribute your database software without limitations. With open-source licensing, it’s your data, your rules. - Community support
Tap into the vast knowledge and experience of the global PostgreSQL community. Find answers, get help, and share knowledge through online forums, documentation, and support channels. Help is always just a forum post or support chat away. - Flexibility and scalability
Deploy your PostgreSQL database on-premise, in the cloud, or in a hybrid environment—the choice is yours. Open-source solutions are designed to scale effortlessly as your data needs evolve. - A wide range of features
Don’t be fooled by the “open source” label. PostgreSQL databases are packed with advanced features that rival their commercial counterparts, including replication, high availability, clustering, and more. - Security and reliability
Open-source databases benefit from the constant testing and watchful eyes of a global community of security experts, ensuring your data is always in safe hands. That’s why PostgreSQL is known for its robustness and security! - Avoid vendor lock-in
Break free from the constraints of proprietary solutions and gain the freedom to choose the best tools for your unique needs.
Tailored migration strategies for every business
While open-source databases offer numerous advantages, it’s essential to approach each migration project on a case-by-case basis. Factors like database complexity, application requirements, and available technical expertise should be carefully considered.
That’s where having an experienced partner like Zebanza is invaluable. We’ll work closely with you to assess your specific needs, devise a tailored migration strategy, and ensure a seamless transition to PostgreSQL.
