PostgresSQL 10 on Amazon RDS

Every system in the world requires a persistent datastore as a backing service. This datastore not only stores the data that is required by the system, but also stores the changes that are made to the system by its users.

The datastore can be anything, ranging from a flat file or an RDBMS (like MySQL, PostgreSQL, and Oracle) to a NoSQL database (like Cassandra, Aerospike, and DynamoDB).

For this project, we have decided to use an RDBMS system to create our persistent datastore. This datastore will be used to store polls, respondents, and responses.

We chose PostgreSQL 10 as our RDBMS choice. Its advantages are as follows:

  • Fully open source
  • Vibrant and big community
  • ACID compliance
  • Smart indexing techniques
