Why PostgreSQL for this
Performance is a feature with a revenue number attached. We set a Core Web Vitals budget and enforce it in CI, so speed does not quietly erode release by release.
PostgreSQL is strongest at it handles far more workload than teams expect, with one operational model. For web application development that matters because the failure modes of this kind of system tend to cluster exactly there.
The honest trade-off: genuine analytical workloads past a certain scale belong in a warehouse. We say that up front because a stack chosen for fashion rather than fit becomes someone's migration project two years later. Every engagement opens with a measurement: the cycle time, the cost per transaction, or the error rate we are being asked to move.
You own the code, the models where they are open-weight, and the documentation to run it without us.

Questions
Which stack do you use?
Next.js with TypeScript and Postgres for most work, deployed on Vercel. We will happily work in your existing stack rather than insisting on ours.
Will it be fast?
We set an explicit Core Web Vitals budget and fail the build when a change breaches it. Performance regressions get caught in CI, not in production.
Can you take over an existing app?
Yes, starting with an audit of the codebase, dependencies and infrastructure before we commit to a plan.
Alternatives for web application development
Same capability, different stack. Each page states its own trade-off.
Building with PostgreSQL?
Bring us the workload and we will tell you whether this is the right stack for it.
