Are people choosing SQL Server independently of the Microsoft ecosystem? My understating is that you typically use it because you’re forced to choose a MS product.
SQL Server is a terrific product. And I detest most things Microsoft.

Because that was a little too subtle and I was sufficiently curious: view-source: https://web.archive.org/web/20240827031455/https://ottertune... scroll until you see ASCII art
guys, what are we doing here. this is ridiculous. andy pavlo cannot get an article on wikipedia? have you seen his work?
I love SQL. I'm not a full-time developer but always use SQL over other abstractions, which I find extremely confusing and way more complicated that plain SQL.
That's just because it is what you are comfortable with. Many developers will jump straight for ORMs when given the chance.
I spent the past year puzzling over the DB market as well, but I don't feel like I'm much closer to understanding it. It appears that a lot of attention is now directed at the folks doing 100 MB queries, and the high end has moved past everybody's radar. My idea of an exciting product is Ocient, who have skipped over Cloud and gone for hyperscale on-prem hardware. Yellowbrick is also a contender here. I have a lot of…
Single data point here: before cloud managed dbs were a thing our smallish startup was running mysql on virtual servers by installing it from the linux package manager. Always worked great, runs without needing manual attention for years at a time once set up, so I've never felt the need to change.

You totally miss that Redis is more like a remote interpreter with a DSL that manipulates data structures stored at global variables (keys): you (hopefully) would never complain about languages having this semantics. I don't think you understood how Redis collections work. The items are just strings, they can't be mixed like integers or strings together or whatever, nor collections can be nested. The Redis commands d…
>> stored at global variables This is an interesting (and correct) perspective. Global variables scare us in software but we are ok with it when it comes to application state stored in a db.
