PostgreSQL Database
Decision to use PostgreSQL as the primary database
From v0 of SuperImpress, we know that almost all of our application data will be structured and relational in nature. So we will use PostgreSQL as our primary database.
Why PostgreSQL
- Structured Data: User profiles, posts, social connections are all relational
- ACID Compliance: Strong consistency for user data and transactions
- Industry Standard: Great for team career development
- TypeScript Ecosystem: Excellent integration with Drizzle ORM
Why Not Alternatives
- MongoDB: Data is structured, not document-based
- SQLite: Can't handle multi-user concurrent access
- MySQL: PostgreSQL has better JSON support
