A tip for the new wave of databases taking on Postgres: make the integration ecosystem—extensions, tooling, compatibility—a P0 from day one, not an afterthought. Postgres's biggest moat isn't just reliability or performance, but its ecosystem of integrations, which customers treat as prerequisites for migration. The author, a self-described Postgres fan, admires the ambition of these challengers but urges them to study how Postgres got here.
