That's a very broad question, which will take far more effort to answer
than most people are willing to provide.

I would suggest describing your specific use case and asking how well
PostgreSQL will fit it. You clearly have a lot of data, for example, so
is that distributed across many tables? Large blobs or lots of rows?
Lots of inserts? Reads? Updates? Those sorts of things.

Maybe somebody on this PostgreSQL list might even know MariaDB well
enough to compare and contrast the two for you.
