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
