  "account": "Denver, September 15, 2026 - Spinnaker Support, a trusted third-party software support provider serving over 1,300 organizations in 104 countries, has unveiled new PostgreSQL services aimed at helping enterprises reduce their reliance on Oracle databases. The new offerings, which include Enterprise Software Support for PostgreSQL and Assessment and Migration Services for PostgreSQL, are designed to facilitate a gradual transition to PostgreSQL while minimizing disruption to critical business systems.\n\nAccording to a 2025 Stack Overflow Developer Survey, 55.6% of developers are using PostgreSQL, making it the most popular database, surpassing Oracle. Spinnaker Support's PostgreSQL solutions provide customers with a pathway to modernize specific workloads, increase future flexibility, and decrease their dependence on Oracle databases without causing system disruptions.\n\nMatt Stava, CEO of Spinnaker Support, emphasized that the new PostgreSQL services offer a low-risk path to standard, open-source PostgreSQL, backed by 24/7 mission-critical support, security guidance, and expert technical assistance. This addition to Spinnaker's OpenPath framework strengthens the company's ability to support customers across their technology environments, modernization efforts, and emerging AI workloads.\n\nThe announcement includes two primary offerings: Enterprise Software Support for PostgreSQL and Assessment and Migration Services for PostgreSQL, powered by HexaCluster's migration, data movement, and replication technology (HexaRocket). HexaCluster's technology accelerates and reduces the risk associated with Oracle-to-PostgreSQL migrations by analyzing workload suitability, accelerating conversion, validating production readiness, and executing controlled cutovers with rollback planning.\n\nIn addition to the existing PostgreSQL services, Spinnaker Support is also developing an enterprise distribution of PostgreSQL, which is not yet available for general use. This upcoming distribution will provide customers with a curated, enterprise-ready PostgreSQL solution built around standard PostgreSQL and vetted open-source components. The goal is to offer a more comprehensive, long-term PostgreSQL destination while preserving portability, architectural control, and freedom from proprietary forks or closed compatibility layers.\n\nSpinnaker Support's PostgreSQL offerings complement the company's existing structure, which includes support for Oracle, SAP, JD Edwards, and VMware environments. Together, these capabilities enable organizations to reduce vendor dependency, expand their choices, and develop a flexible path towards long-term modernization.
