Postgres is finding a home in very large deployments that might previously have gone to a proprietary database management system. Heroku runs one of the world’s largest multi-tenant Postgres installations with more than 2 million customer databases spread across tens of thousands of individual AWS instances. Running huge numbers of Postgres databases in this way enables Heroku to scale their already enormous Postgres operation to even greater numbers of instances and customers. The author of this article also discusses how we run our multitenant Kafka service.
