      The article itself suggests MariaDB, as that was the original fork of MySQL.

      Switching to Postgres I’m guessing would be a lot more difficult in terms of compatibility with existing application code, and general admin / lifecycle tasks. Though that’s just a guess as I’ve never actually used MariaDB.
