As someone who was in ops, I really disagree with MySQL in that category.

Saw it multiple times at multiple jobs just break on its own.

Most memorable one was a bug where certain pattern of data caused mysql think data is encrypted, crash and refused to start until data was restored from backup. It took quite time to fix it because it happened randomly and initially we assumed it was broken hardware.

MySQL used to be pretty bad in that respect but lately has come of age and I was mostly commenting on how frequently it was used.

Was it really recently? Last time I used MySQL was 2018.
