All of the MySQL "they just shoulda" and "they just coulda" arguments here are irrelevant. There's no distinct advantage of MySQL over Postgres, either in smaller or larger environments for the gitlab use case and with their development team. My personal experience is that Postgres is much closer to operating commercial RDBMSs which makes the experience of DBAs much more portable and relevant. Moving someone from the Oracle or MSSQL world to Postgres is relatively much easier than moving them from the MySQL world.
