If you ever want to make a LAMP stack developer cry, just tell him he's got to work with NGINX and PostgreSQL.

Why? :D

@heyheni not personally, but every LAMP Dev I've worked with has gotten a bit itchy when even talking about something other than Apache.

I don't exactly live somewhere with a wealth of development potential :')

As a LAMP stack dev,i switched to nginx and prefer it to Apache. But postgres? Uhhhhh.....

@psion1369 nginx definitely has the edge. Personally I prefer to use MariaDB, but PostgreSQL can be useful.

504 gateway time out

I have to using nginx... hell yeah I finally got a smart client, oh I got to use postgresql... you can go fuck yourself...

Why the hate on PostgreSQL?

@apex my problem is that it's slower than mysql, but I'm not a dba so I might have just configure it wrong

@jckimble kinda a bold blanket statement edit: just saw your caveat

@stable-penguin yeah I know how to tune mysql, the last time I tested the difference between postgresql and mysql postgresql was slower in response times and query lookups. I was told this was because of the safety checks postgresql does that mysql doesn't so I guess it's one of those trade offs, but speed and community are the two main things I look for so mysql is my pick until someone shows me a faster alternative with a good community.

nginx is better than apache and for a developer not much changes as for mySql ... the movement now is toward maria db

@jckimble Yeah, PostgreSQL is slower but more powerful (I guess that's why they depict it with an elephant 😋), also, PostgreSQL has more features than MySQL, features that are specific for some enterprises (it recently started with support for cube operations and other interesting stuff that only paid DBMS have [Oracle])

@jckimble that makes sense. After I read the original it reminded me that each has pros/cons for different scenarios. Even then, how someone interprets "speed" could be different from index creation, query, update speed ... You get the point : )
