This chapter aims to implement a simple data access layer (SDAC) based on PostgreSQL for the Stickers microservice. The decision to use PostgreSQL as the database was made for several reasons:
PostgreSQL is a free and user-friendly database management system that excels in terms of efficiency. It is capable of meeting the requirements of the project. Additionally, PostgreSQL's free and open-source nature makes it an attractive choice for development purposes. Furthermore, the database's high performance capabilities ensure that the application will function smoothly and efficiently.
Choosing PostgreSQL as the database for the Stickers microservice will enable the development team to take advantage of its many benefits, including improved scalability, reliability, and security. With PostgreSQL, the application will be able to handle a large volume of data and requests, while also providing high-speed data processing capabilities. Overall, selecting PostgreSQL as the database for the Stickers microservice was a deliberate decision made to ensure the application's success and efficiency.
