The debate between MySQL and PostgreSQL has been ongoing for decades. In 2025, both databases have evolved significantly.
Performance
MySQL continue to lead in read-heavy workloads, making it the go-to choice for web applications. PostgreSQL, on the other hand, excels in complex analytical queries.
JSON Support
While PostgreSQL was early to the JSON game, MySQL 8.0+ has caught up with robust JSON support, allowing you to store and query document data efficiently.
Why We Choose MySQL
At WowMySQL, we believe in the ubiquity and reliability of MySQL. It powers the majority of the web, and with our enhancements, it's ready for the modern era.
