I would say that for small shops and simpler apps MySQL / MariaDB may be 
fine. If you go to enterprise class apps and infrastructure you'll start 
to need more, which means PostgreSQL.


For instance : unnest , transactional DDL, the extensions system, custom 
types, the MVCC etc those are very important features that some 
commercial DBs lack.
