Overall Satisfaction with MySQL
MySQL gets used for the most part in our infrastructure. If it is a website, an API, or something else, MySQL is the most used. It's used for data storage and user management. Our MySQL instance is available to every developer who needs to save something in a database, which is one of the reasons why it has so many use cases for us.
- MySQL is very fast, so a request doesn't take long
- MySQL has many configuration options
- We had never any problems like a destroyed database
- MySQL has a problem when databases are getting too big
- Support for NoSQL
- Helps in providing data
- MySQL doesn't need a big server to run
We're using InfluxDB for statistics. MongoDB is getting used for big documents which are more accessible for us when saved as documents in MongoDB. Redis is used for caching. PostgreSQL is mainly there to get used for software that only supports this type of database.
