 Hey, Amanan, I'm speaking at this year's root conf about why you should prefer Postgres to MySQL. Let's say you're trying to fix a slope query by adding an index. Doing that in MySQL locks the entire table while indexing is going on. It may mean hours of downtime if you're working on a large database. The same thing can be done in Postgres, while all other operations are going on in parallel. This ability of Postgres to add an index without any downtime gives the flexibility to iteratively optimize your database bottlenecks. There are many more nice things to say about Postgres, and I'm going to do an in-depth comparison of MySQL in Postgres in this talk. Sounds interesting? Come and attend my session at root conf.
