New dev here, want to pick ONE database to get really good at

Heard PostgreSQL is the gold standard but MySQL is easier?

MongoDB seems popular for startups but heard it can get messy?

Building: likely a SaaS app, maybe some analytics stuff

Which one would you recommend and why?

Based on my experience, I’d say go with the middle option! Better documentation and more stable in production. The community is also super helpful.

I’ve been using PostgreSQL for a few months now and honestly it’s pretty solid! The AI features are fire and it integrates well with my workflow.
