MySQL is a very good database. Especially if you use MariaDB.

No, it isn't. No amount of saying that will make it true. It is a database that is missing vital functionality, and which considers data integrity not to be important.
How is this correct, mysql has synchronous replication. does Postgres have something equivalent to galera?
It is correct because mysql is missing tons of important functionality, like I said. You even responded to my other comment listing a small portion of it. No, postgresql does not have an equivilent to galera. Postgresql's synchronous multi-master replication doesn't break constantly and require manual intervention like galera's buggy patch does.
