Many of the other folks at the company feel an open-source DB is more risky because it is less well tested compared to commercial counterparts. I’m looking for examples of large installations of Postgres with huge data sets, high traffic volumes, high update rates, etc, particularly large, recognizable names. I know you guys get this question a lot, but can anyone share experiences with using Postgres in large settings with huge query rates, replication, etc? Any stories you guys can share (in public or private) would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
Every so often on the slony (Postgres replication) list, a fellow from Skype pops up. I suspect they use postgres under high volume, huge dataset situation...
Also, do a "whois slony.info" or any *.info domain and you hit a replicated postgres database. The entire .info (and now .org) domain registries are stored on postgres.
