Running Postgres in production since 2017. Some trivia required, but nothing like priest knowledge needed for MySQL.

I love not having to be trivia king.

What kinds of things do you need to do for MySQL? I’ve always run postgres, that is why I ask.

One example of the sort of trivia that's burned into my brain: You never want to use the utf8 encoding. It's broken. What everyone else calls utf8 MySQL calls "utf8mb4". MySQL is filled to the brim with this sort of thing.
