Streamline your data management process with the PostgreSQL + Looker integration

PostgreSQL is an open-source, object-relational database management system (ORDBMS) that is not owned or controlled by one company or individual. Because PostgreSQL software is open-source, it is managed mostly through a coordinated online effort by an active global community of developers, enthusiasts, and other volunteers.

An enterprise class database, PostgreSQL boasts sophisticated features such as Multi-Version Concurrency Control (MVCC), point in time recovery, tablespaces, asynchronous replication, nested transactions (savepoints), online/hot backups, a sophisticated query planner/optimizer, and write ahead logging for fault tolerance.

PostgreSQL supports international character sets, multibyte character encodings, Unicode, and it is locale-aware for sorting, case-sensitivity, and formatting. It is highly scalable both in the sheer quantity of data it can manage and in the number of concurrent users it can accommodate. There are active PostgreSQL instances in production environments that manage many terabytes of data, as well as clusters managing petabytes

Looker is a cloud-based Business Intelligence (BI) platform designed to explore and analyze data. The solution allows companies to acquire and analyze data from multiple sources and make data-driven decisions.

Looker offers corporate teams the ability to analyze supply chains, digitally market, quantify customer value, interpret customer behavior, and evaluate distribution processes. Users can also "view the source" to understand how the data they are viewing is manipulated. Dashboards allow you to present data and insights using customizable graphs, charts, and reports.

With Looker's data modeling language, users can define data metrics and explore relationships between various data sets. The storytelling feature allows users to present data analysis to stakeholders through data-rich visualizations.
