Operating and securing Postgres is a steeper learning curve. MariaDB is more forgiving for best-effort shoestring setups without compensating scalability for it.
As a dev I’m agnostic, as an owner and computer scientiest I prefer Postgres, as a sysadmin or *Ops I will put my hand up for MariaDB any day if I’ll be on call or maintain deployments.
Cause that one is absolute shit, very difficult to maintain, and requires lots of config changes and even replicas can disconnect when something’s not 100% ok.
I will take Postgres over any other DB any day of the week.

Is Maria that much better than MySQL?

MariaDB is MySQL’s fork, initiated by the main developers, so…
Does that mean it’s still an utter borderline unusable shit?
I’d say ti’s a little bit better.
