For high availability & low latency: Architect a globally distributed eCommerce system
eCommerce is a broad domain, but at a basic level it encompasses any business that primarily buys or sells goods or services over the internet. This includes all sorts of companies from classic retailers and marketplaces, to food delivery and online travel. In this space, customer expectations are extremely high. They want a personalized experience, fast access/answers, and have zero tolerance for downtime. Not only do businesses have to accommodate a demanding customer, but they also have to figure out how to serve a geographically dispersed user base.

The limitations of PostgreSQL in financial services
PostgreSQL has almost 40 years of active development under its belt making it one of the most powerful and reliable relational database management systems (RDBMS). Even today it’s the fourth most popular database in the world, backed by a global community of dedicated supporters. It’s a good fit for business critical workloads because PostgreSQL delivers a highly stable foundation and is ACID compliant. This is also why it’s often used in financial services and for use cases that handle money.
