Which rdbms should be used? MySQL or Postgres

Hello,

Which database should be used as backend in Mattermost ? Should I prefer MySQL or PostgreSQL if my main concern is the optimal performance when number of users increase?

Hey @Ajita, we don’t have a recommendation between MySQL or PostgreSQL, you should expect similar performance from either database.

Any updates on this Q^? Does anyone have empirical data?

Personally, I will always prefer MySQL over PostgreSQL due to my perception of MySQL being much easier to use than the others, especially when doing command line and server-side configuration changes and modifications from a command line. Not only that, but tools like the MySQL workbench are very attractive to me, and are very useful across the board, and you can’t really use tools like that with other DBMS’s.
