PostgreSQL
The World's Most Advanced Open Source Relational Database
PostgreSQL is a powerful, open-source object-relational database system with over 30 years of active development that has earned it a strong reputation for reliability, feature robustness, and performance.
We take databases seriously! That is why every project built in Xano utilizes PostgreSQL so that you do not need worry about power and flexibility.

Here are few notable companies that currently utilize PostgreSQL.
