I'm doing a presentation about Postgres to SQL Server users this weekend,
and I want to showcase some of the big names that use Postgres, e.g.
MasterCard, Government agencies, Banks, etc.

There used to be a Wiki page of Featured Users but that link is broken now.

I also "found" a page about MasterCard at the EnterpriseDB website, but
that one throws an error with too many redirects.

Any suggestions on where to find a recent user list? Thanks!

Not so easy, we have a lot of big customers, but we are not allowed to tell the names ...

You can visit our page, we have some case studies ...

Andreas - unfortunately I do not recognize any of the names so it's
probably European entities that are not very popular here.

Ireneusz - I love the article! Will definitely use this.

Chris - very impressive! I will mention it in my talk.

Thank you all,

Igal

But Lucee is a Swiss company, so why aren't European companies interesting?

I know that Zalando (European online clothing shop) uses Postgres (they have published several tools around it) and the German online tax system uses Postgres (there was a presentation by Alva Freude on the migration from Oracle a few years ago)

I also found these pages:

https://enlyft.com/tech/products/postgresql
https://siftery.com/postgresql
https://stackshare.io/postgresql
https://www.builtincolorado.com/companies/tech/postgresql-companies-colorado
https://www.builtinnyc.com/companies/tech/postgresql-companies-nyc

but I don't know how credible those source are.

Wikipedia lists some names:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PostgreSQL#Notable_users

including the International Space Station ;)

Other Postgres support companies have also published some customer names:
