Postgres: The World's Most Advanced Open Source Geospatial Database
PostGIS is considered the world's most advanced open source geospatial database, competing with Oracle in the geospatial realm. Postgres, which means post ingress, is an extensible database with a history rooted in UC Berkeley. Designed for extensibility from the early days, Postgres allows deep low-level hooks for customization including modifying query behavior and integrating with other databases like Mongo or Redis. Extensions in Postgres enable adding new data types, indexes, modifying query planner, integrating time series data, and implementing compression, making it highly flexible and customizable.
