Serious question: Why do we only use Postgres, MySQL, and MongoDB in production? CouchDB, ScyllaDB, ArangoDB, CockroachDB exist. Some are actually better for specific use cases. Is it just network effects? Fear of being the one who picked the 'weird' database? What's your theory?

@AmicoderDev Why take risks with unknown DB tech when job security is on the line? Nobody ever got fired for choosing Postgres. Bet your career on some niche database and watch your resume get tossed in the bin when it inevitably crashes in prod. Safe choices = paychecks. BORING but true.
