Streamline your data management process with the PostgreSQL + Segment.com 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

Segment is a powerful API that enables companies and organizations gather and aggregate all analytics data on their websites, and then stream that data to the corresponding analytics platform they are using. This data analytics software can stream and make sense of tons of data that is collected from multiple sources, including desktops, phones, tablets, iBeacons, point-of-sale registers, and TVs.

Segment is specifically designed for B2B service providers who require powerful yet user-friendly analytics tool to help them understand and manage their data better. The tools is basically a simple API that doesn’t require high levels of technical expertise to get familiar with. This help users save tons of development time and focus on more pressing issues.

Segment simplifies the data analytics process by providing users with a central point, a single JavaScript client that gathers and aggregates data and then delivers it to your preferred analytics services. That means you do not have to install a separate data analytics application like Google Analytics or Optimizely as Segment enables you to retrieve data and automatically stream them to services that you specified. The solution helps your business to easily integrate and administer analytic tools without having to open, close, or exit from the system.
