PostgreSQL has been named DBMS of the Year for the fourth time, after winning the title three times between 2017 and 2020. Nearly 35 years ago, Postgres was first released. Since then, much has changed, and this is essentially the major success factor of PostgreSQL: a high pace of steady improvements that keep the system at the forefront of DBMS technology while providing a reliable and stable platform.
