Overall Satisfaction with MySQL
We are using MySQL in a few of our microservices application databases. We chose MySQL because its easy to use, has a lot of documentation both official and non official, has a large userbase, os easy to maintain and quick to install with fairly minimal configuration. The last bit is arguably most important for us since at the mooment, we need something that can be done quickly to make our application available to the user.
- Beginner friendly
- Quick and easy to set up
- Has a massive userbase
- Lack of advanced features compared to PostgreSQL or SQL Server
- Doesn't scale as well as PostgreSQL or SQL Server for large databases
- Quickly launch application
- Fairly cheaper compared to some other solutions
- Beginner friendly; most people on our team can fairly easily use it
MySQL is relatively easier to use and than PostgreSQL or SQL Server; it's also cheap to use in production compared to SQL Server. For a beginner who wants to ship something quickly, MySQL is really suited for it.
