Modern web development often involves using multiple tools, leading to high costs and complexity. However, PostgreSQL, a powerful relational database, can handle many tasks typically outsourced to other services. It offers advanced data types, support for unstructured data, extensions for cron jobs, in-memory caching, vector storage, GraphQL, real-time syncing, authentication, analytics, and more. The post emphasizes critically choosing the right tools and showcases how PostgreSQL can simplify full stack application development.
