PostgreSQL as the substructure for IoT and the next wave of computing

How PostgreSQL accidentally became the ideal platform for IoT applications and services. From mainframes (1950s-1970s), to Personal Computers (1980s-1990s), to smartphones (2000s-now), each wave brought us smaller, yet more powerful machines, that were increasingly plentiful and pervasive throughout business and society. We are now sitting on the cusp of another inflection point, or major release if you will, with computing so small and so common that it is becoming nearly as pervading as the air we breathe. With each wave, software developers and businesses initially struggle to identify the appropriate software infrastructure on which to develop their applications. But soon common platforms emerge: Unix; Windows; the LAMP stack; iOS/Android.
