My question was ironic, implying that anyone using it in a productive system/software/service is doing a very bad job at software architecture. I avoid any product relying on super slow software pieces.
MySQL refugees = those who ran to MariaDB when MySQL was bought by 'Orrible and now need another new home. Accidentally, PostgreSQL has grown support for some of MySQL on recent versions.
I rewrote the last remaining MySQL-based software of mine this year because I didn’t want to have MariaDB just for this one tool. Everything else had already been migrated. PostgreSQL is much faster in my tests.
My coworker used to work with Oracle at his last job, and he took an architect position at my company near the start of development. There’s a reason we use Postgres at our org…
Okay thank you :). We will see after a few years I guess?
It doesn’t look like an “emergency alarm” to switch over to another database. However, I was already thinking of switching every container to postgres. Maybe that’s the push needed.
There were so many web apps written in the early 00s on the LAMP stack, including Facebook. And that’s not counting the tiny internal applications that so many businesses have that use MySQL/MariaDB. Because these are business critical applications, they pay Oracle/MariaDB for support.
