Asking about performance, “production”, fast/slow/okay, etc is all relative and whole depends on what volume of traffic you get in production and your latency demands; without including a few ballpark numbers the conversation is pointless. A lot of people on HN say things like “for 99% of production apps Postgres is perfect”, but I consider Postgres a bit lackluster because above that scale it’s more annoying to manage than “worse” dbs like MySQL. The difference in our takes is because my “production” needs look very different from their “production” needs. (I personally wouldn’t put an interpreted GC language in the request pathway for my production app; we sometimes use Cloudflare functions which are JS, but a very heavily optimized JS runtime and even that is a bit concerning) |
