Overall Satisfaction with Oracle Database

A lot of our applications are using Oracle Database as their data store.
  • High stability and reliability
  • A complete set of database features
  • Performance is sub-optimal when data size is large.
  • Non-trivial effort to setup. We have to build some automation so developers can save some time to set it up on their local machines.
  • It powers most of our critical consumer applications.
  • However, we are gradually retiring it for some large applications and starting to use some NoSQL options.
It depends on the use case. Oracle database is for everyone, but if it's a lightweight application, MySQL might be an easier choice.
