Database

MySQL

A reliable, widely supported relational database that powers most of our production backends, including this site.

Discuss your project

MySQL's maturity, strong tooling, and near-universal hosting support make it a dependable default for relational data — user accounts, orders, content, and anything that benefits from strict schemas and transactional integrity.

It's what we run this site's own backend on, via Prisma ORM, and it's our default recommendation for most client backends unless a specific feature (like Postgres's advanced JSON or geospatial support) points elsewhere.
