That choice often works fine until the application grows and the team starts hitting edge cases: a JSON column that needs indexing, a replication topology that costs money, a cloud vendor whose support tier locks them in. <strong>PostgreSQL vs MySQL for small business</strong> workloads is worth evaluating directly, because the databases are not interchangeable, and the differences compound over time.</p>
