Got it. Thanks, this is very helpful.
Like always, one has to pick the right tool for the job.
It looks like PostgresSQL would be a much better tool in quite a few cases and it's now a lot clearer to me which cases are.
MySQL's ubiquity is hard to beat, and there are a lot of tools for it, but it could definitely improve in a few aspects and PostgreSQL does do a better job at those (key-value and JSON indexing are particularly useful for me).
