MySQL support exists,but no postgres?
I notice that Google has consistently built support for MySQL in all its products...but never postgres.
I don't understand why - is there a massive amount of engineering involved ?

Why no. If you do not get why PostgreSQL is so much better than MySQL after reading so many people telling you otherwise, I guess I will not spend time on this task. There are some people prefering PHP over Python or Golang, too.
Just a hint: if you did not try PostgreSQL, just maybe give it a try?
And yes, MySQL kills kittens (i.e. potentially silently truncates data) at every UPDATE it receives.
Then why do you comment at all? Your post brings nothing to the discussion but appeals to popularity and shaming gp.
And I actually did try PostgreSQL once or twice many years ago. If I remember correctly, it was for a project that required full text search capability, and I had no end of trouble trying to configure and optimise PostgreSQL to do it back then, and simply reverted back to MySQL which worked out of the box. Or possibly I even went to SQLite with FTS3 back then to get it to work. I, like most developers would rather be creative on my code rather than fight my tools.
