large scale reliable software system

2023-06-21 Thread B M
Dear all,

After greeting,

I taught PostgreSQL myself and developed a small scale experimental
software system using PostgreSQL in the back-end.

I would like to know your advices to develop a large scale reliable
software system using PostgreSQL in the back-end, through which i can share
the storage with the different system users where they login to the system
through the web application front-end with different passwords and
usernames , save the privacy of each user data, improve overall system
security and performance, achieve fast response, make backups and save the
stored data from loss. The system will be hosted on a cloud.

Thank you in advance.
