> MariaDB, though I'm moving over to MySQL 8 for any software that needs it due to their 11 release having compatibility issues with MySQL drivers

Could you tell more?

Stumbled upon issues when updating from an older MariaDB 10 release to MariaDB 11 when some Go software was trying to connect to it using a MySQL driver. Seems like people have similar issues with other stacks as well as well: https://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=111697

I could just use MariaDB drivers where available, but honestly MySQL seems more popular and the MariaDB SPAC and layoffs soured my view of them; ofc PostgreSQL is also nice.
