Relational database. Server-client architecture — a MySQL process runs 24/7, clients connect over TCP. Widely used, battle-tested, fast for simple queries.

Lighter and faster than PostgreSQL for simple read-heavy workloads

Less strict SQL compliance — more forgiving but also more surprising edge cases

Handles concurrency well — designed for multiple users hitting the same tables simultaneously

Unlike SQLite (single file, single writer), MySQL is built for servers where dozens or thousands of users read and write at the same time

Since both MySQL and PostgreSQL are already server-based and designed for concurrency, they make sense on heavier infrastructure — not on an edge runtime or a local app
