So I agree 100% with this, but postgres is so easy and scales infinitely (for the meaning of infinite in 99% of business use cases), I suppose I don’t understand why I would choose MySQL. Do folks just use it as a user cache? Most systems I’ve designed of worked on have required a central database so MySQL never seemed the right fit.
- eddmakesio 3y agoI'm not sure tbh! I also agree with PostgreSQL. The last time I used MySQL was MariaDB in 2015/6 or something.
- paulryanrogers 3y agoMySQL has better compression and IME can scale further thanks to redo log and alternative engines. Still love Postgres's rich feature set for smaller DBs.
