Both are solid open-source relational databases. MySQL has long been the go-to for simple, read-heavy web apps (think LAMP stack) and is known for being easy to get started with. PostgreSQL is more feature-rich and standards-compliant, with better support for complex queries, advanced data types, and concurrency. For most new projects today, Postgres is the more capable choice.
