As government agencies look to modernize their applications and strategies, it’s critical that they adopt database technologies that will support their innovation. While, in the past, many of these agencies have relied on proprietary databases for these initiatives, it’s increasingly clear that these tools are both too restrictive to handle the projects that government needs to undertake in order to accelerate their evolution. With issues such as vendor lock-in, rising costs and severe limitations on third-party integrations posing substantial issues, many agencies are looking to open source databases like Postgres to help future-proof their most critical data initiatives and drive ongoing growth.
