In addition, look to current cloud providers for managed mysql and postgres offerings. aws has managed mysql and postgres, as well as aurora-compatibility for both. gce has managed mysql, and i've noticed over the past few months people reaching out on hn over postgres support. even if you think gce or aws are going to disappear in the next decade (which unlike the oracle on-prem ecosystem, is still in a big growth phase), mysql and postgres aren't. and if you ever get to the point that you need to migrate your data out of their ecosystems, they offer services to help you.
