EnterpriseDB (EDB), a leading sovereign AI and data company, is launching the Postgres Vitality Index, a framework measuring the breadth and depth of commercial contributions shaping the future of PostgreSQL as it becomes foundational to enterprise AI.
As AI workloads accelerate and enterprises modernize their data foundations, the world's largest technology companies are converging on Postgres, signaling a structural realignment in enterprise infrastructure, according to the company.
The Postgres Vitality Index evaluates 12 factors across three pillars:
- Core contributions: Advancement of the PostgreSQL code
- Ecosystem contributions: Extensions, integrations, and tooling that expand Postgres capabilities
- Community nurture: Sustained investment in the health and growth of the global Postgres community
The Index analyzes publicly available data from the nine largest commercial contributors to PostgreSQL.
Despite the influx of global cloud and data giants, the Index confirms that EDB leads with over 30% of contributions, followed closely by AWS, Microsoft, and then Fujitsu, Snowflake (via Crunchy Data), Databricks (via Neon), Percona, Google, and Cybertec, the company said.
"Developers have long loved Postgres for its extensibility, flexibility, and open innovation model. Now global enterprises are recognizing that same value, making Postgres a strategic decision and running mission-critical data systems on it. That transition doesn't happen by accident," said Jozef de Vries, SVP, core database engineering of EDB. "For nearly 20 years, EDB has invested in advancing the core, strengthening the ecosystem, and nurturing the community to ensure Postgres is ready not just for today's demands but for the future now unfolding."
The EDB Postgres AI platform delivers:
- Data and AI sovereignty: Hybrid-by-design architecture ensuring governance, security, and freedom from cloud lock-in
- Platform convergence: Unified transactional, analytical, and AI workloads on a single Postgres foundation
- Future-ready stewardship: Sustained contributions that ensure Postgres evolves fast enough for the AI era
"The market has validated Postgres. The next challenge is making it enterprise-ready for AI at scale," said Kevin Dallas, CEO of EDB. "EDB Postgres AI meets this demand by unifying transactional, analytical, and AI workloads on a sovereign platform designed for control, governance, and performance—across any environment. That's the difference between adopting Postgres in the mainstream and making it mission-critical for enterprise AI."
