Agreed, I’m sure if this is the kind of problems they are having I could probably be saving them even more than $50k a year if they were on Postgres.

The difference between mySQL and Postgres is that significant? What makes up the difference?

Hardly. And in general, MySQL outperforms Postgres. But you will have more options to tweak Postgres to work better for you in edge cases.
