Postgres is the database God himself would have made.
- nameless912 3y agoLike, I don't want to fanboy, but it's _hard_ to find a use case that postgres can't handle at small to medium (i.e. 90% of projects) scale.
- 0xbadcafebee 3y agoIt's hard to find a use case that a plain old filesystem can't handle at small to medium scale. But there are perhaps more important considerations than just "can it handle it"
- diordiderot 3y agoLike what? (Genuinely curious)
- pier25 3y agoProbably more like 99%
- nvm0n2 3y agoUh let's not get carried away. It's fine with enough work maybe. But Postgres has a lot of awkwardness too. HA is a pain, major version upgrades are a pain, JS or JVM stored procs are a pain, configuring auth is a pain. There is a reason so many people are desperate to pay someone else to run Postgres for them instead of just renting a few VMs and doing it themselves.
- hot_gril 3y agoIt's the best, but it's far from perfect. Default mode is non-ACID, and going `serializable` mode makes it very slow. Spanner is always ACID... but always slow.
