Why PostgreSQL Is the Database Winning 2026

Lucas and Luna drill into a single concrete number: PostgreSQL's 40 percent market share growth among new deployments in 2026. They trace how the database went from an academic underdog to the default choice for AI workloads, real-time analytics, and mission-critical OLTP. The hosts walk through three specific drivers — the pgvector extension for vector search, the rise of managed Postgres on cloud providers, and the collapse of the Oracle-to-SQL Server duopoly in enterprise. They also touch on the surprising role of Notion, which moved its entire 100-plus terabyte infrastructure from MongoDB to Postgres in 2025. If you are choosing a database for your next project, this episode gives you the specific reasons why Postgres might be the pick for 2026. #PostgreSQL #Database #Technology #OpenSource #pgvector #AI #VectorSearch #CloudComputing #Notion #MongoDB #Oracle #SQLServer #OLTP #RealTimeAnalytics #TechPodcast #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #LukeAndLuna Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
