Thank you all of you for your answers! It helps me a lot because when I'm trying to convince a client to migrate to PostgreSQL sometimes they think that because it's free, it only works for small databases for web or desktop applications with a few users, while they blindly trust in oracle or sql server just because are propietary databases (oracle is understandable, but sql server...) But with your examples and the links provided I can even create a document recopiling those success cases to encourage clients to implement Postgres.

Don't forget Instagram. :) We're not quite that size, but our financial PG system peaks at 18k TPS and handles roughly a billion queries per day. -- Shaun Thomas OptionsHouse | 141 W.
