PostgreSQL is one of the most advanced open-source platforms available today. Multiple large-scale organizations such as Cisco and Apple use the tool for their web-based and mobile-based application development.

Another focus for the community of developers is security; they keep evolving PostgreSQL and updating their security measures to keep up with the threats of today.
