> There are too many options. Too many tools to chose and decisions to be made. All of the code has to be written, including the boilerplate and the boring stuff. I disagree a bit here. Sure, there are hundreds (thousands?) of databases out there. However, once you add your business requirements, and second+ order considerations (e.g. is this database battle tested in production? is it supported? is it supported in our company specifically?) the choices narrow down dramatically. In fact I dare say that in most greenfield projects you can probably narrow most tech choices to less than a handful.
