I've never seen it happen on a production system in ~20 years.
Might happen at the current gig but that's more down to "Firebase is junk for this job and we're rewriting everything anyway, might as well consider switching DB too".
- tomrod 5y agoLucky! I've done a few.
- mind-blight 5y agoI've seen it happen once. Back in 2011, the company I was working for decided to switch all of their apps from MySQL to postgres. We had built everything in Django, so the transition was a lot less painful than it could have been, but it definitely wasn't free.
- BiteCode_dev 5y agoNot the point. The point is that people can then build db agnostic libs on top, so that several projects from different teams can use it despite using a different db. E.G: you can use django, no matter if you are a mysql or a posgreq shop and still use the entire ecosystem of apps.
