Why host PostgreSQL on your own VPS or dedicated server?

Hosting PostgreSQL on your own VPS or dedicated server gives you full control over your application. You can customize the server environment, optimize performance, and ensure security. It also allows you to scale your application as needed without any restrictions.

Additionally, hosting on your own VPS or dedicated server can lead to significant cost savings. By managing your own infrastructure, you can avoid the recurring costs associated with cloud services and optimize your resource allocation to meet your specific needs. This can result in a more cost-effective solution for your application.

Why use Relational Database Management Systems?

A RDBMS is a database management system that uses relational tables to store data. It's particularly useful for storing structured data and for querying data. RDBMS offers several advantages over NoSQL databases, including better support for complex transactions, stronger data consistency, and more robust security features. Additionally, RDBMS databases are well-suited for applications that require strict data integrity and ACID compliance.
