Architecture is a big part of it IMHO.
Products exist like Oracle MySQL cluster or Percona XtraDB which allow you to do scale horizontally e.g. multi-master and have good support as you do grow. Nothing really exists for PostgreSQL on either front. But if you are planning to scale vertically then PostgreSQL seems the clear winner.
- jacques_chester 14y agoMySQL didn't become popular because it had multi-master. It got multi-master after it was popular.
- taligent 14y agoWho ever said it did ? I am just saying is it important to consider when evaluating databases.
- jacques_chester 14y agoSorry, for some reason I was under the impression that you were saying MySQL was popular because of its replication/HA features. On second reading, I'm wrong.
