What is your preferred SQL Server, that you use together with Alpha, and what are the reasons for your pick...?
Being new to development with Alpha, I am now setting up my environment, and I want to make the best SQL Server choice from start. I am not bound by any specific platform due to historic reasons, and I am developing for web and mobile.
Initially I want to run everything locally on my Windows 10 development computer. For production, I will be using a hosting provider; either Amazon, Azure or a plain and simple Virtual Machine host provider, where I install a "SQL Server"-product myself.
I want to prepare for scale and for redundancy, both with regards to web server, but also with regards to SQL Server. For that reason, I might consider hooking up to a "SQL Server"-service that provides redundancy (and scale), instead of following the "single node SQL server"-direction.
For that reason, I might as well choose a SQL Server product for local install on my development computer, that will be of the same "SQL Server"-family that my future "SQL Server"-service is based upon.
What are your comments and/or recommendations...? MS SQL Server Express, MYSQL, MariaDB other ? Do you have any recommendations with regards to "SQL Server"-service ?
Looking forward to reading inspiration. Thanks!
