> MySQL is a perfect match for most SaaS applications that deal with compliance. Postgres is simply not.

Please elaborate on this “simply not”.. you are making a categorical statement.. does there exist a DISA-certified STIG for MySQL, for DoD and military applications?

There is no certified MySQL STIG yet. There is one for Postgres though.

STIGs are hardening guidelines used the US Department of Defense.

I don't know what DISA or STIG are, but yes there are such projects. https://www.mysql.com/customers/industry/?id=65 has a few relevant references.

There isn't a STIG for MySQL... yet. Supposedly there is one being worked on, however.

There's been a Postgres STIG for, I dunno, "a while" now.
