Questions & Answers
Absolutely. PostgreSQL powers production databases at companies like Apple, Instagram, Spotify, Reddit, and Twitch, handling billions of rows and thousands of concurrent connections. With proper tuning, connection pooling (e.g. PgBouncer), and replication, it scales to very large workloads.
As of February 2026, the latest stable releases are PostgreSQL 18.3, 17.9, 16.13, 15.17, and 14.22 — all released on February 26, 2026 as part of an out-of-cycle update addressing several regressions.
Yes. The pgvector extension adds native vector storage and similarity search to PostgreSQL, making it possible to build RAG pipelines, semantic search, and embedding-based recommendation systems without a separate vector database. This is the same technology powering Supabase's AI features.
