Except the person to whom I replied said to use traditional SQL databases:

They mean traditional SQL databases like PostgreSQL, SQL Server, DB2, Oracle etc.

Not MySQL. MySQL has almost none of the important features of a real SQL database management system. Nobody should be using MySQL for anything.

They are NOT using stock-standard MySQL and haven't done so for many years. If you are big enough to make your own programming languages the normal rules do not apply.

And if you ask the Youtube team for a recommendation for your project, they will not point you to MySQL.
