Started with MySQL in the mid 2000s. It was ok for what I needed. Then switched to Postgres early 2010s. Found it richer in tooling, extensions, and options. I don't know how well MySQL supports them today, but here are just a few features that I've found compelling in postgres, while using it in various projects: JSON, search, schema, PLs, roles. The list of what postgres can do seems endless. I was once hired to contribute on a Python/postgres project. After I accepted, it was revealed to me that the Python part was inside postgres. An architectural decision that hinted something about the mind that made it, but technically, it worked flawlessly.
