DESCRIPTION
Interest in Postgres is soaring as new features and capabilities advance Postgres to compete with major traditional database vendors like Oracle and Microsoft and to provide the same flexibility as NoSQL niche providers like MongoDB. As needs emerge, Postgres responds with new technology from a vast and vibrant community of committed PostgreSQL developers and the support of marketplace leaders like EnterpriseDB.

• How do we define & measure relevancy for Postgres?
• What should we be doing to drive Postgres relevancy into the future?
• Would a more concerted focus on “sweet spot” and Postgres points of difference help guide new development efforts?
• Would more focus on enabling Postgres commerce drive growth more rapidly?
Thoughts for Consideration
Postgres’ greatest strength is the Community itself.
The more we work together, the more we can ensure Postgres relevancy long into the future!
