Picking the right Database for your Project (Avoid Common Mistakes!)

I often get questions about databases, ranging from NoSQL to relational options like MySQL, PostgreSQL, and SQLite. People also ask where to host them and which one is the best. In this video, I'll walk you through the options and help you choose the right database for your needs!

Why not manage your own database? Im currently building something where Im self-hosting a postgres db on a digital ocean droplet. What is the downside of this approach?

[@renatofrota]

no downside. people are very impressionable and follow trends without weighing the costs and benefits.

You are a real developer, keep it up

[@arianj2863]

Levelsio makes tons of money and uses sqlite lol

[@janmarshalcoding]

Sure, but my point is still valid. I’m talking about scale, and Levelsio isn’t at scale. For example, Notion is at scale, and they use SQLite but have faced several hurdles with it. So, if your plan is to just be an indie hacker, choosing between databases is probably not necessary, since these businesses will likely never achieve the scale where database performance becomes relevant
