PostgreSQL vs MySQL

We don't have data for mysql/mysql-server yet. They will appear here as soon as the next sync run completes.

Postgres is the feature-rich default for new apps (CTEs, JSONB, full-text search, extensions); MySQL is the default for legacy WordPress / LAMP stacks and where the team already has DBA expertise. Both are excellent — the choice is really about the team's existing knowledge and the specific feature needs (Postgres wins for JSON and window functions).
