Database

Databases are the only way we can store something for free and so if you are creating a dynamic website, the only system you can use. These are most likely going to be using SQL.

ORMs are quite useful but many of them are badly written so depends on the language.

Database recommendations

• MongoDB (discouraged — especially if using with a language which doesn’t validate types at runtime e.g. TypeScript/Javascript and Python)
• PostgreSQL
