Provides BTRFS file system, which allows you to take snapshots

I only use the tool for testing purposes on my team, but multiple people use it. We don't make a team effort to install the solution. When it comes to maintenance, we ask our company to buy SUSE Linux Enterprise. My team consists of 13 people. We are currently integrating the solution with Ansible to do some coding. Although not a full-fledged automation, we are integrating the solution with Ansible and executing a couple of playbooks connected to openSUSE Leap. I would recommend the solution to other users looking for an open-source solution. Overall, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.

Hybrid data platform has delivered reliable transactions and powerful performance for our apps

One of the most important points about PostgreSQL on Ubuntu is that it is free. We do not have to worry about cost per core. It is a fully-featured database that supports a lot of features that modern applications need. In fact, it even supports document-based databases. It is quite a powerful solution. The performance of PostgreSQL on Ubuntu's parallel query executions was very good. That is why we selected the solution. We utilize ACID transactions with PostgreSQL on Ubuntu. ACID transactions impact our data reliability in our work significantly. Reliability is very important and ACID helps us reach that goal. Regarding isolation specifically, our application did not require any specific isolation of transactions, but overall, ACID is still very important.
