Case Study: AutoUncle achieves scalable growth and major cost savings with EnterpriseDB's Postgres

AutoUncle Goes from Startup to Industry Mainstay with Postgres from the Very Start

AutoUncle, an Aarhus-based online marketplace serving 14 European countries, helps buyers find fair prices and sellers get accurate valuations for used cars. As a small startup with ambitious regional growth plans, the company needed a fast, cross-border search engine and a database able to process massive pricing datasets and scale seamlessly without repeated re-architecting.

They chose PostgreSQL from the start and later engaged 2ndQuadrant/EDB’s Community 360 plan for expert support, resolving rare data corruption issues, implementing robust backup and replication (Barman), and guiding schema migrations. The outcome was a stable, future-proof, and highly scalable database platform that avoided costly DBAs and licensing, lowered operating costs, freed resources for growth and product development, and helped attract talented developers.
