Do you pick your databases based on how quickly they compile and how many dependencies they have? I normally chose based on factors like performance and reputation for reliability

Reputation for reliability can be directly impacted by thousands of upstream dependencies, though.

  True, but internal dependencies aren’t upstream. I care very little how a project is laid out on disk before it’s built unless I’m going to work on the source.

    All the cargo deps would be "upstream", and pulled on build.

If a dependency gets compromised, that’s a problem. If you have thousands, you increase the odds vs if you have one.

  You can also depend on a lot of libraries that have potentially high quality rather then writing a lot yourself. The defense against compromised dependency can't be 'Ill write everything myself and do it with the same quality as the ecosystem'.
