Hey, Threadiverse! I’m looking for informed opinions on database choices.

I can stand up an Internet-facing application and have it use either MySQL or PostgreSQL. Which is the better choice, and why do you think so?

Thanks!

    Its query planner is also much, much more powerful. Like it’s not even close.

    There’s hardly any good reason to use MySQL today. Postgres is easier and nicer to work with, with a strong community backing it.

    SQLite is completely different from both and has entirely different usecases.
