Looking for education here: in reading my understanding of MairaDB was that it's not as well suited to large databases and heavy read/write performance in those databases, as compared with Postgres. Would the primary argument be f

It's unfortunate the author approached this with so much bias, of which I'd make an educated guess based on rhetoric, stems largely from ingesting media of only one slant. Would have been an interesting read if objective.
