Database

Quite often people ask me what I actually do. I have a hard time giving a short answer. Even to colleagues and friends in the industry.

Here I will try to show and tell how I spent an evening digging around in a system I helped build for a client.

There seems to exist a database for every niche, mood or emotion. And they seem to change just as fast.

How do you balance the urge for the new and shiny but without risking too much headache down the road?

This post is an attempt to lay out the rough landscape of databases that you might encounter or consider as of late 2020.
