What database do you use at work?

Lately, I've been dealing mostly with relational DBs and the project I'm working on is using MySQL.

I'm curious what database/-s do you mainly use at your work?

Sql server for relational data, MongoDb for non-relational (though IMHO we're using it wrong)

Well we were using MySQL but right now we are currently migrating to Dynamodb

Might I ask some of the reasons behind the migration?

We needed to build a delta functionality and we can't do that with the mySQL db since our platform is hosted on AWS, hence the migration

There's a few dotted around in some odd applications. We have:

  • MySQL
  • MariaDB
  • Redis
  • Microsoft SQL Server
  • Access

I only support the MySQL, MariaDB, and Redis applications; but I have a project (starting next year) to migrate the applications on Access to something slightly more sensible.

Access is like mold; once it's in, you have to work hard to get it out. If you give people Access they will turn it into business-critical functionality, but without the support and testing necessary. The worst part is the inevitable "Why aren't you supporting this?"

The team who implemented it are very aware that it's not supported by IT, as are the directors. I work for a very understanding company in that respect. Any issues with that database are their own.

The team who implemented and manage that one are also the ones driving a build into a standard company platform. Mainly so their full team can use it at the same time. They have the business rules documented, as well as their processes, so they are well placed to help and test a properly built version.

Again, I'm really lucky with the business I work for.

PostgreSQL, with redis and elastic sprinkled in. I use that combo in almost every project I'm involved in (unless there's a given better fit ofc)
