I'm told that MySQL replication blows Postgres out of the water by my company's data team, but they could just be biased since that is their area of expertise. I work on server code and don't really have much familiarity with the operations of running replica chains.
Postgres seems like a better choice for personal projects since it has a lot of nifty features. I'm also wary of Oracle, but that's my own attitude talking. For a startup eventually wanting to scale, would the better choice be to use MySQL out of the gates? Am I being mislead about Postgres clusters and availability?
Serious (naive) question; not wanting to start a flame war.
