Depends on the underlying database, and you'd have to test your query to have any level of certainty. That being said, query planning is generally where Oracle/MSSQl outshine MySQL…

Olric is awesome, we've been using it for 2 years in prod. No complaints.

If I could downvote this AI slop marketing, I would

Change and use slog with the zap adapter

Just an egg please

Huge fans of Buf Connect. We run vanilla gRPC servers on the backend and have a typed experience through to the frontend

It also has materialized views built in so you don't have to run dbt manually

This. We're doing billions of daily usage aggregations in MySQL with generally less than 5s delay

Avoid Chargebee at all costs. I've never made an architectural decision I regretted more.
