I see quite a few opinions here detailing the pain of PgSQL upgrades. From those in the know, if you've time to bestow: how does it compare with the main rival relational db engine, MySQL, or its offshoot MariaDB? (I know I could ddg but a few anecdotes always sweeten the deal)
I'm looking to select a relational DB for a web application, most of my experience is MS-SQL but I'm looking to go open source/Linux this time.
- danielvaughn 4y agoI don't know about how postgres compares to others, but if you're looking for an easy-to-manage relational DB, there are a handful of new cloud-native databases that have come out in the last few years. The ones I know of are Planetscale and Cockroach DB. https://planetscale.com/ https://planetscale.com/ https://www.cockroachlabs.com/ https://www.cockroachlabs.com/
