Postgres is surprisingly bad. I think we’ve been stockholm’d into treating it as the default option.

I’ll write more detail if curious, but the query planner is garbage & that’s just one issue.

Has anyone successfully switched to MariaDB or other options?

lol maria/mysql is awful, that's what we were stockholmed into for a decade or two before psql became more popular

not sure what OP is talking about, psql as industry defacto is a huge improvement over the prior state of things

postgres is pretty decent, so is minesweeper, but other than that yeah

I'd go step further and declare that all software is awful

+1 no better way to earn true appreciation for postgres than using MySQL/MariaDB.

if i walked into a shop and found Maria, id walk right back out. what are your specific complaints? i assure you that anything maria may win on is a recent improvement. ive ran tb-scale clusters of both dbs and this is generally considered solved science

There are a few large projects that switched the other way, notably Uber a few years ago
