> I could tell you horror story about pg not have an official replication system until 2011 when pg 9.0 landed.
I could tell you a horror story that happened to me just few weeks ago, where MariaDB just corrupted data out of nowhere due to a bug[1]. This happened multiple times and costed us multiple hours of work (including service being down) each time it happened until we realized the issue wasn't hardware but a software bug.
If you ask me, I take PostgreSQL approach of not having a broken replication before 2011 than MySQLs still corrupting data.
Data usually is the most valuable asset a company has.
