Pranay Jain

Senior software developer at Simplifyvms

Think about if you are in a different geographic location and your cluster is hosted in two different geographic locations, maybe one in South Pacific and one in Western Europe. In both cases, if write transactions are happening, this is a good way to basically order the transactions so that the eventual data consistency is there.

Debarshi Banerjee

Specialist Programmer L3 at Infosys

If I look into the market, I have very heavy products, and even MySQL is also open source, but PostgreSQL on Ubuntu gives me a lot of savings in terms if I were to go to any other vendor which has a license.

Room For Improvement

Netlify users seek better GitHub integration, flexible pricing, improved AI and server features, easier backend, and more resources.

PostgreSQL on Ubuntu faces speed and setup challenges, needing better documentation, installation, AI optimization, and improved asynchronous replication.

Additionally, more advanced monitoring and logging features inside the platform would be very useful for troubleshooting.

RohitVerma2

DevOps Engineer at a tech services company with 11-50 employees

You can add integrations such as API services and a secret service so that users do not have to manage environment variables manually through the GUI or web service.

Maybe it makes more sense to use AI for configuration in future updates of PostgreSQL on Ubuntu so that the database is automatically optimized for the best performance for a given hardware.

Since I use the free tier, there is no question about pricing or setup costs.

Kumar Sunny Suman

Lakshman Mulchandani

Software Engineer at a healthcare company with 10,001+ employees

I have used multiple plugins within it, and they are quite easy to use, such as adding environment variables, adding secrets, and adjusting the size of the hosted application, which means the memory, CPU, and virtual CPU memory are very convenient for me to manage.

Pranay Jain

Senior software developer at Simplifyvms

When it comes to the new modern frameworks, all the other platforms require extra configurations to get deployed into the DNS servers, but using Netlify Platform, it is easy; everything is handled by Netlify Platform in the backend, and the deployment process and all the CI/CD pipeline that Netlify Platform handles is something which is good in regard to the modern frameworks which are used nowadays.

Any open-source software allows me to look into the code, understand the logic, and mold my code according to it, and it will work perfectly rather than proprietary solutions where I am very much dependent on the vendor and have to wait for their next release to fix things.

Automated deployments have simplified portfolio updates and have reduced manual pipeline work

For the improvements in Netlify Platform, I think it should focus on better marketing because competitors like Vercel and others are present in the market. While Netlify Platform looks clean, neat, and enhanced, it should do better marketing, as it is actually recommended by ChatGPT for small-sized projects. I believe it should also be suggested for larger projects and promoted more so that Netlify Platform is used by multiple people; it should be the go-to cloud environment. I think the technical side of Netlify Platform can improve, especially in the documentation. They can add more information about new frameworks as they come into the platform or market. They should maintain a troubleshooting page on Netlify Platform docs that comprehensively shows all the steps. Adding more user-friendly animations or navigation would make the platform easier. Moreover, with the documentation, it currently shows all the tabs at one place, and the customer should understand what each use is without having to click into it. They should support more old frameworks as well, to increase the range of utilizations since mostly old frameworks are still in the market, prompting more users to migrate to Netlify Platform.

Robust relational queries have supported secure user data growth and improve transaction safety

The best features PostgreSQL on Ubuntu offers are complex joins, which allow us to perform advanced SQL queries, providing the atomicity of our tables, ACID properties for transaction safety, and scalability that we can expand to, as we currently have 10 lakh users, and it is easily scalable. Complex joins are the best feature that PostgreSQL on Ubuntu provides because I have been using NoSQL solutions such as MongoDB, but PostgreSQL has better efficiency for complex queries when used correctly. PostgreSQL on Ubuntu has positively impacted our organization because, from the initial phase with around 1,000 plus users during user accessibility testing, we defined the tables in such a manner that even with future scalability increases, it would function well, and now it has grown to 10 lakh users, still holding up well with fast data retrieval and good query performance, supported by effective indexing methods. In our user table with PostgreSQL on Ubuntu, we initially added indexing on the email property, but after a while, we found that the phone number field was also frequently used, and adding indexing to it improved our query retrieving speed and efficiency by almost 20 to 30 percent.
