Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.

Pros

  • Longhorn for storage, postgres and redis operator to make it insanely easily to rollout DBs.
  • Parent context: I decided to go with uuid because it's supported by postgres. Reply: I decided to go with uuid because it's supported by postgres. I prefer db handle it's own primary key generation rather than relying on application level.
  • The "Fetch IDs + Fisher-Yates" strategy decouples the logic of randomisation for which Node can be good at, from the storage of data of which Postgres is good at.
  • If you're using Postgres for your data already, consider Postgres's full-text search feature. ... If you're doing something like searching a list of users by name/username/email, this is a decent way to do so without the overhead of a se...
  • Other databases probably support GIN, but postgres definitely does.

Cons

  • MySql/Maria, Postgres, etc. backing up the actual files is "practically" useless. You need to do a mysql_dump/pg_dump which generates a text file of sql statements, so you simply run it to restore.
  • Well postgres can work aswell ofc, myself never tried it tbh i use either Mysql/mariadb or nosql/mongo for all of my projects, this was just my suggestion based on my experience
  • Currently, I'm using postgres to save these, but I'm considering to moving into a OLAP db like clickhouse.
  • I'm using Express and Postgres as backend in my case
  • Storing sessions in Postgres works but isn’t ideal for performance or scalability.

If you're using Postgres for your data already, consider Postgres's full-text search feature. ... If you're doing something like searching a list of users by name/username/email, this is a decent way to do so without the overhead of a separate searchable database.

There is also built-in full text support in postgres, and you can often add similar functionality to other db engines.

Right now I use Postgres but I just dont know what I dont know and want to at least educate myself on the standards.
