MySQL vs PostgreSQL Performance Benchmark (Latency - Throughput - Saturation)

The post compares MySQL and PostgreSQL databases focusing on latency, throughput, and saturation during data ingestion and retrieval. PostgreSQL demonstrates lower latency, efficient CPU and memory usage, and better disk usage efficiency compared to MySQL. Detailed benchmark tests show PostgreSQL handling nearly twice the number of queries per second than MySQL. The author invites suggestions for test improvements and provides a breakdown of various performance metrics collected during the tests.
