I think the case of "it depends" mattered more in the days of shared webhosts and basic PHP sites when the relatively lightweight MySQL made more sense. These days, not only is PostgreSQL designed better and has more features (our key usecase was RLS) but its governance is better. You're not tied to the monster called Oracle and Postgres has a very healthy development community that isn't overwhelmingly dominated by any one entity. I recommend https://pgloader.io https://pgloader.io if you're currently on MySQL and want to switch your existing app.
