Thread: Featured Big Name Users of Postgres

Featured Big Name Users of Postgres

From

I'm doing a presentation about Postgres to SQL Server users this weekend, and I want to showcase some of the big names that use Postgres, e.g. MasterCard, Government agencies, Banks, etc.

There used to be a Wiki page of Featured Users but that link is broken now.

I also "found" a page about MasterCard at the EnterpriseDB website, but that one throws an error with too many redirects.

Any suggestions on where to find a recent user list?  Thanks!

Not so easy, we have a lot of big customers, but we are not allowed to tell the names ...

You can visit our page, we have some case studies ...

Andreas - unfortunately I do not recognize any of the names so it's probably European entities that are not very popular here.

Ireneusz - I love the article!  Will definitely use this.

Chris - very impressive!  I will mention it in my talk.

Thank you all,

Igal

But Lucee is a Swiss company, so why aren't European companies interesting? 

I know that Zalando (European online clothing shop) uses Postgres (they have published several tools around it) and the
Germanonline tax system uses Postgres (there was a presentation by Alva Freude on the migration from Oracle a few years
ago)

I also found these pages:

  https://enlyft.com/tech/products/postgresql
  https://siftery.com/postgresql
  https://stackshare.io/postgresql
  https://www.builtincolorado.com/companies/tech/postgresql-companies-colorado
  https://www.builtinnyc.com/companies/tech/postgresql-companies-nyc

but I don't know how credible those source are.

Wikipedia lists some names:

  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PostgreSQL#Notable_users

including the International Space Station ;) 

Other Postgres support companies have also published some customer names:
