Hey, I am considering to launch my side project using prisma engine under the hood, and now I am at the point of picking a database, since prisma supports multiple of them and manages all the operations and access to db, why would one pick MySQL over Postgres and vice versa (when starting fresh), is there any difference in performance or / and usage?

1 difference I know for sure: you cannot connect existing MySQL database to prisma - https://github.com/prisma/prisma/issues/2506

@Gorodov Maksim Good to know, thanks! What if its a new database? Would you use MySQL or Postgres with prisma? And why?

I would pick the one you're most familiar with

@taikn that's Idk, I'm a frontend developer so I have no idea how all these things work 😄 But I always choose postgres

😄 Same here I also could not find anything in docs regarding this topic, but thanks anyway!

@taikn then choose whatever you want :))

Postgres > MySQL every day unless you need sharding
