Why Postgres® has won as the de facto database: Today and for the agentic future

EnterpriseDB argues that PostgreSQL has become the de facto enterprise database for the AI era, citing its native extensibility, open-source community, and ability to unify structured and unstructured data. Only 13% of enterprises are succeeding with AI platforms, and those standardizing on PostgreSQL gain advantages through extensions like pgvector, Citus, PostGIS, and TimescaleDB. The piece advocates migrating away from Oracle, MySQL, and SQL Server toward a sovereign, Postgres-based data platform to support agentic AI workloads.
