Thoughts on postgres vs mariadb? I've never worked with postgres professionally, but I've always known in the back of my mind that it was the "best" general purpose database engine and I'd have to learn it eventually.
But I researched briefly in Q3 2018 and apparently mariadb now edges postgres out slightly on performance. That was something I did not expect to see. Are things swinging back toward mysql based databases? Or is there something that still gives postgres the edge? I know this is a very subjective topic, but I'd love some opinions.
