I’m very happy with MySQL currently. I started using it because AWS Aurora supports it a bit better than postgres. I haven’t had any regrets since. It’s great when you just want simple relational storage without a lot of features or ceremony, but need a bit more than SQLite. It’s fast, predictable, and gets the job done. Postgres is great too and offers more, but sometimes that can tempt you to try to do too much in the DB layer.
