Could you share a little bit about what your thought process was in general when picking a database technology?
You call out "easy migrations and database branches" outweighing other quirks, so some pros and cons weighing must've happened :)
Is it easy, for example, to test things in your dev environment with realistic amounts of data, and to get an understanding of how the queries will execute, etc? These seem somewhat basic, and would've probably caught this (also kinda basic, sorry :) problem early. (As in discovering "why is this query that should be a few ms with an index lookup taking so long?" early on)
