What is PostGIS?

PostGIS is an Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) compliant software used as a spatial database extender for PostgreSQL, which is a form of object-relational database. While PostGIS is free and open source, it is used in both commercial (e.g., ArcGIS) and open source GIS software (e.g., QGIS).
