Github works on MySQL and they got pretty good at it. Ubers engineers made a respectable decision by switching to a lower-hyped database purely on excellent engineering.
- dijit 10y agoMitigating against your database going mental is scary and should not be encouraged but it's the default in most MySQL shops. Whether you /can/ coerce it into doing the right thing is not the issue, Uber are doing their own thing regardless of if its right anyway so they're unlikely to change in that regard- what makes you sure they will do MySQL right at all?
