rmrk-web VS TimescaleDB

Have you heard of RMRK? Some really cool stuff related to NFTs 2.0 are being developed for EVM (including 4 (for now) EIPs published).. Some of the EVM contributions are showcased in the https://evm.rmrk.app

If you are just starting out, I’d suggest to look at https://rmrk.app We have some of really cool NFT 2.0 features that might set your project apart from the currently existing ones ;)

at the top of rmrk.app there is a "GET KSM" button with some fiat on ramps

As for NFTs, here's the Kusama is RMRK - I don't know what the DOT equivalent is. I think that project will become a substrate module, and so will enable NFTs for all blockchains that use the module.

RMRK | Remote| EU only | Full Time | Fullstack React Typescript developer | https://rmrk.app

We are looking for a Full-Stack Typescript developer, with strong front-end skills. Namely React/Typescript/Next.js

Don't forget PostgreSQL extensions. For something like a chat log, TimescaleDB (https://www.timescale.com/) can be surprisingly efficient. It will handle partitioning for you, with additional features like data reordering, compression, and retention policies.

Offboard it to Postgres specialists like https://www.timescale.com/

TimescaleDB{:target="_blank"}: an extension of PostgreSQL that adds time-series capabilities to the relational database model. It provides scalability and performance optimizations for handling large volumes of time-stamped data while maintaining the flexibility of a relational database.

Have some experience with https://www.timescale.com in this context

What about getting in touch with commercial organisations that have products/services based on PostgreSQL? For example Timescale, EDB, and Citus Data, or really any hosting provider that offers a managed PostgreSQL service.

There is Timescale.

Friends don't let their friends choose Mysql :)

A super long time ago (decades) when I was using Oracle regularly I had to make a decision on which way to go. Although Mysql then had the mindshare I thought that Postgres was more similar to Oracle, more standards compliant, and more of a real enterprise type of DB. The rumor was also that Postgres was heavier than MySQL. Too many horror stories of lost data (MyIsam), bad transactions (MyIsam lacks transaction integrity), and the number of Mysql gotchas being a really long list influenced me.

In time I actually found out that I had underestimated one of the most important attributes of Postgres that was a huge strength over Mysql: the power of community. Because Postgres has a really superb community that can be found on Libera Chat and elsewhere, and they are very willing to help out, I think Postgres has a huge advantage over Mysql. RhodiumToad [Andrew Gierth] https://github.com/RhodiumToad & davidfetter [David Fetter] https://www.linkedin.com/in/davidfetter are incredibly helpful folks.

I don't know that Postgres' licensing made a huge difference or not but my perception is that there are a ton of 3rd party products based on Postgres but customized to specific DB needs because of the more liberalness of the PG license which is MIT/BSD derived https://www.postgresql.org/about/licence/

Some of the PG based 3rd party DBs:

Enterprise DB https://www.enterprisedb.com/ - general purpose PG with some variants

Greenplum https://greenplum.org/ - Data warehousing

Crunchydata https://www.crunchydata.com/products/hardened-postgres - high security Postgres for regulated environments

Citus https://www.citusdata.com - Distributed DB & Columnar

Timescale https://www.timescale.com/

Why Choose PG today?

If you want better ACID: Postgres

If you want more compliant SQL: Postgres

If you want more customizability to a variety of use-cases: Postgres using a variant

If you want the flexibility of using NOSQL at times: Postgres

If you want more product knowledge reusability for other backend products: Postgres

TimescaleDB is Postgres with extensions to automatically partition tables for fast processing of time series data.
