There are at least 300+ databases out there, and they all do something slightly different. The Database Database breaks down popular databases like Postgres and Elastic and explains them in simple, clear language.

Hello everyone! I'm Justin and I run Technically, a resource for helping people get more technical and learn about software engineering. I get tons of questions about different databases – why do we need a special database for logging? Why is my engineering lead telling me we need to push out the launch to get the data warehouse ready? – so I put my answers together in an easily digestible table format. You can easily sort, filter, and search for whatever data store you're trying to learn more about. This Database Database comes with a post that breaks down the different types of databases and what they're used for: https://technically.substack.com... I hope the ProductHunt community finds this useful!

@jgage718 Congratulations to the launch 🎉 This looks awesome! We also launched Shout today and hope you'll show us some love back! (https://www.producthunt.com/post...)

This is such a great and accessible resource - love that I can now reference and brush up on broad strokes before calls when needed!

Super useful - great work.
