Why is it called Hey stack?
Why does the "Hey stack" persist to the obsolete Mysql dB engine and not PostgreSQL (opinionated dovnvote fodder, I know, but hey; bring it on! They are valid questions).

- Jemaclus 6y agoThe app is called "Hey". It's not the HEY Stack in the same sense as the MEAN stack or the LAMP stack. It's the stack for the app called HEY.
- em-bee 6y agoi expect that on their bug tracker, issues have been renamed "needles" so that each issue they work on, is a "needle in the hey stack"
- vmlinuz 6y agoAlso, uh, it's a pun on haystack... as DHH pointed out somewhere in the thread.
- brodock 6y agoThey are probably using it as dumb key value storage in a way, and probably found it easier to shard + existing experience. I'm not sure PostgreSQL sharding ist there yet
- criddell 6y agoMaybe because MySQL is good enough for what they need.
- WJW 6y agoIn addition, calling it "obsolete" compared to postgres implies postgres is better in all ways, which is simply not the case. There are entirely valid reasons to choose MySQL for new apps.
