The limitations of PostgreSQL in financial services
PostgreSQL has more than 35 years of active development under its belt making it one of the most powerful and reliable relational database management systems (RDBMS). Even today it’s the fourth most popular database in the world, backed by a global community of dedicated supporters. It’s a good fit for business critical workloads because PostgreSQL delivers a highly stable foundation and is ACID compliant. This is also why it’s often used in financial services and for use cases that handle money.

How Nightfall.ai simplified their architecture for metadata storage
For organizations that want to avoid risk the first step is often to safeguard their most important asset: data. Data loss usually happens by accident (primarily human error and system failures) and not because of malicious intent or bad actors. Maybe an employee neglects to update their software, or an entire cloud region goes down, or there’s an unexpected influx of traffic that the company wasn’t prepared for – we’ve all heard of or have been part of these stories. Recently, data protection has become more complicated because businesses are running many applications in the cloud that employees are accessing on a daily basis. The more applications, the more risk.
