The Postgres® Vitality Index
Measuring the breadth and depth of commercial contributions shaping the future of PostgreSQL
Postgres has won, now and for the agentic future
Enterprises are investing heavily in the Postgres ecosystem as it becomes foundational to enterprise AI. The Postgres Vitality Index was created to measure how organizations are contributing to that evolution.
EDB remains the leading commercial contributor to PostgreSQL
The Index analyzes publicly available data from the nine largest commercial contributors to PostgreSQL.
Despite the influx of global cloud and data giants, the Index confirms that EDB leads with for over 30% of contributions, followed closely by AWS, Microsoft, and then Fujitsu, Snowflake (via Crunchy Data), Databricks (via Neon), Percona, Google, and Cybertec.
How the Postgres Vitality Index measures commercial leadership
The Postgres Vitality Index evaluates twelve publicly observable contribution signals across three pillars that represent the work required to sustain a global open source database.
EDB continues to play a central role in advancing Postgres in terms of development, ecosystem innovation, and community stewardship.
30%Core Contributions
Advancement of the PostgreSQL codebase through committers, feature authors, patch submissions, and other development work.
45%Ecosystem Contributions
Extensions, integrations, packaging, and tooling that expand PostgreSQL capabilities.
28%Community Nurture
Sustained investment in events, meetups, mentorship, and community leadership.
Together these signals provide a snapshot of how commercial contributors are advancing Postgres as it becomes foundational infrastructure for enterprise data and AI systems.
EDB Postgres AI solves the sovereignty gap in the agentic era

Data and AI sovereignty
Hybrid-by-design architecture ensuring governance, security, and freedom from cloud lock-in
Platform convergence
Unified transactional, analytical, and AI workloads on a single Postgres foundation
Future-ready stewardship
Sustained contributions that ensure Postgres evolves fast enough for the AI era
