If your project is already on MySQL and you have no issue => Don't change anything

If your project is already on MySQL and you have issues => understand the issues you are facing and make sure that moving to Postgres would fix them (99% chance it won't)

If you have a new project and have very precise informations about the constraint you will face (pretty rare) => Do your research and choose what's best for your use case

If you have a new project and have only got a vague idea of what you are going to need/face 5 years down the road => Postgres is a slightly better choice than MySQL due to the feature set. Unless you have some other reason to go for MySQL (expertise, ...)
