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

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

Uber isn’t a wholesale success story. There are a lot of caveats that you can search for. The big win for them was reduced write amplification (and binary replication) due to how PG does indexes. Unless you are doing 100k writes / second I doubt this will matter.
