Some points for you, if I may:

- Why are you worried about license fees as a developer? :-) Seriously speaking, start with Oracle SE2. It is so cheap, I would use it everywhere. And if you need those "partitioning", "parallel execution" etc - your business is Enterprise, and you can afford such price tags. (I know, there will be a sh1tst0rm now, but please think about what IO said from business POV)

- Oracle Public Cloud gives you database extremely fast - and you will never have issues with license audit

- The name of "Rollback of DDLs" is "no developer access to production" and "UAT" :-)

- hmmm... $> rman rman> connect target rman> backup database plus archivelog delete input; rman> exit

What can be easier?

Are you a huge fan of Vacuuming, XID Freezing, WAL optimisations etc. etc.?

The MVCC in Postgress, in my view (!) is joke from academia, where they had not a single DBA :-)

... whatever Amazon does, it is always "however", "although" and "but" on HN

People, please get real. You all are running (or dreaming of) your own small business.

How much of payrise are you willing to give your workforce now?

This news is pure win for workers, consumers and amazon.

People <say> they know :-) Many hardly can write "Hello, World!".

As I mentioned before, Apache is The Best Web Server in the world. Period.

If you want simplest non-bloated and secure - OpenBSD's httpd is absolute king.

But for many generations of IT people Apache had (and still has) that nice homey feeling.

One of Best things that happened to IT world.

Edit: s/https/httpd :-) bloody phones and their "smart" keyboards

This is exactly why Apache still rocks.

Software developer got greedy, rich and robbed by state actors.

Should have contributed to Apache instead.
