DHH (somewhat surprisingly) said he really has no preference between MySQL and Postgres: https://twitter.com/dhh/status/1275909837793062912
What does that answer of his even mean? That he prefers mysql ?

What I think is even more significant than Hey’s backend stack is its _frontend_ stack. There’s no complex JavaScript framework; it’s all server side rendered HTML with a few touches of lightweight JS (mostly Turbolinks and StimulusJS, afaik) on the client to add basic interactivity. And it feels just as fast—if not faster—than any other modern, well-built web app. It goes to show that libraries like React and Vue ar…
Idk,I actually don't understand the obsession of many with Tech Stack or predicting the doom of a language. Because Facebook uses PHP for their service, Would you still use PHP? A lot of people despise PHP. But there's PH maker Mubs, most of his indie products LAMP stack. The main lesson I get from any of these is that pick the one that you're comfortable with and deliver the project than looking for what's the best…
HEY picked their stack because their founder is literally the creator of Rails, so obviously they're going to use Rails and its related tie-ins (MySQL, Redis). This isn't really interesting as DHH has been a proponent of "Rails good everything else bad" for quite some time, and will probably only continue to double down on that stance.
Kind of awkward to see how they trying to create a PR driven fight with Apple for obvious reason.
"From creators of basecamp" sounds like anti-motivation to use product. They were first infomarketing company. Eventually they lost all the competition to every other company, but wrote books and succeed in this area while competitors went IPO with actual product. Why on earth someone would trust their business communications to outdated pre-hipster infomarketing company?
My negative comment is only due to this disgusting leverage on riot/liberal values when they created a stupid buzz around a 10+ years old 30% rule. Providing as an example Tesla app and 30% cost of the car which is not the case for obvious reason. Do you think people are so stupid? Yeah, it might force me to remember this product. As a product from company with extremely mean values you should never trust.
Why is it called Hey stack? Why does the "Hey stack" persist to the obsolete Mysql dB engine and not PostgreSQL (opinionated dovnvote fodder, I know, but hey; bring it on! They are valid questions).

Really? You don't understand why people have strong opinions about the tools they use for work every single day?
Most programmers don't get to choose the stack they work on. Even if they do, you're going to run into pain points and wonder, "Did I pick the right thing? Would I be equally frustrated if we had gone a different direction? What would be the most enjoyable stack to choose next time?"
People do (and should) care a lot about their tools. Facebook cares so much that they invented an entirely new programming language called Hack to replace PHP, and they also invented Flow and Reason as JavaScript alternatives.
Even for small companies, tools matter. If you spend all your time rebuilding libraries, debugging at runtime, or waiting for devs to learn your stack, you're losing money.

The app is called "Hey". It's not the HEY Stack in the same sense as the MEAN stack or the LAMP stack. It's the stack for the app called HEY.

Maybe it was just preferred? Why is AWS something to be avoided?
Well, he lashes out against FAANG quite often.
