Organizational motivators include:
- Reducing cost: Oracle’s high cost reflects restrictive and complicated contracts
- Enhancing development agility and deployment options: 70% of new apps use open source, with enterprises deploying Postgres on multi-cloud and containers to quickly adopt modern architectures
- Innovation and future-proofing: Oracle innovation is proprietary and costly. Postgres paves the way to transactional, analytical, and AI workloads
- Consolidation: Organizations want to focus IT spending on fewer platforms. PostgreSQL fits many workloads
- Developer preference: Year after year, developers express their preference for Postgres. It is fast becoming the platform of choice for modern open source applications.
Here’s what you’ll hear about the delays in moving on from Oracle:
- Migrations can be hard: There is a lot of assessment and effort required across schema, data, and applications, and some organizations don’t want to tackle all that.
- Oracle skills: Businesses have invested in Oracle training and are concerned about losing those skills/expertise.
- Apps designed for Oracle: Oracle specifics are ingrained in the app, so it’s difficult to migrate one without the other.
Migrating to Postgres as an enterprise-grade database solution requires:
- Security and compliance: Pushback from IT and infrastructure teams over enterprise security, performance, and compliance requirements can delay Postgres adoption.
- Flexible architectures: Enterprises may require support for on-premises, cloud environments, and Kubernetes open source container orchestration systems, or any combination of these.
- Zero-downtime concerns: If organizations are going to roll out Postgres across their enterprise, the solution needs to support demanding, tier 1 applications that tolerate near-zero downtime.
Organizational tipping points involve a mix of factors that include the following:
- Oracle contracts are complicated.
- Audits are disruptive.
- There are widely perceived issues with the quality of contracted Oracle support delivery.
- An organization’s customers want their provider to move off of Oracle and onto Postgres.
- The organization wants to embrace AI applications and analytics, and experience Oracle’s shortcomings for these workloads.
