For what it's worth, I was in this same situation.
Without getting overly technical, MySQL's ease of use, wide supported drivers and toolsets, along with it's ubiquitous nature made me choose MySQL.
Also, almost everyone knows MySQL. Easy to find talent.
(Avoiding the technical reasons for brevity).
- zo1 8y agoNot just that, but I have yet to come across a piece of software that is both free and comparable to MySQL Workbench. It makes designing the database ridiculously easy.
- softwarefounder 8y agoAbsolutely - I spent way too long finding postgres tool, and even then, it was just okay. Also, so many big players use proven MySQL setups (Uber, Github, etc), that I feel like the scalability is there if needed.
- ausjke 8y agotrue, mysql workbench is great
