- bebop 9y agoI think you may have posted this on the wrong announcement. This is for Postgres on Azure. There is another thread about mysql :)
- dang 9y agoWe merged that thread (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14309662 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14309662) into this one, so now the thread can be about both.
- partiallypro 9y agoIt seems it's still better to run mySQL on a VM if you're running multiple databases for smaller sites. But for single sites that need to scale, it's way better than ClearDB, which is hot garbage if you ask me.
- lima 9y agoWhy?
- partiallypro 9y agoIf you're asking why I think it's still better to run a VM for multiple databases, my answer is pricing. If you're asking why I think ClearDB is hot garbage, it's because of pricing, in ability to scale down (you literally cannot scale down ClearDB in Azure), connection limits on the DB that make no sense with the pricing, etc.
