Using your Favorite Open Source Database at Enterprise Scale in Financial Services

summary
EDB positions itself as the largest contributor to Postgres and claims enterprise customers run at scale — one estate reached 15,000 databases. Recommended stack items include automated orchestration, high-availability failover, cross-region replication, centralized monitoring, role-based access and encryption, and identity integration. A deployed automation reduced rollout to 4 minutes provisioning per DB, but insufficient operations training caused night-time recovery failures. Advice: pair the open source engine with tooling, patching and runbooks to meet SLAs.
