  • I say go with Maria or with postgres for all use cases in the beginning. You can even start with sqlite. For most of the use cases you don’t need the scaling and speed of redis, mongodb etc.

    If you hit a performance wall with Maria or postgres, you should scale up and optimize before switching to more specialized databases.

    If you use an ORM (object relational mapper like Prisma), it should be okay to switch database engines but you don’t want to do that frequently.

    My rule of thumb is getting it done first.
