ALEXANDRIA, Va., July 11, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- pgEdge, the first company to offer a fully distributed database optimized for the network edge based on the standard and popular open source PostgreSQL database, announces its inclusion on DCA Live's 2023 Red Hot Companies list that showcases the Washington, D.C. region's fastest-growing and most exciting companies. Leaders in the region's tech and business community nominated pgEdge, and the DCA Live host committee selected pgEdge for inclusion among the 32 companies that will be honored during a ceremony on Thursday, July 13, from 5:00-7:30 p.m. on the rooftop of Sands Capital in Arlington, Va.

"DCA Live's recognition is testament to both the significant strides we have made since our emergence from stealth mode in March 2023 and our prospects for rapid growth as more organizations adopt our fully open and fully distributed Postgres database platform," said pgEdge co-founder and CEO Phillip Merrick. "As we head into 2024, we expect to sustain our momentum through several anticipated collaborations with major partners. At pgEdge, we are committed to revolutionizing how organizations manage their data on a global scale."
