Notes

As rule of thumb, use MySQL/MariaDB for smaller projects. Since using and setting up MariaDB is easy, this cookiecutter is configured to use it by default. Use PostgreSQL for medium/big size projects as there is high changes we might need Postgres specific features like JSON, HStore etc. and obvious realibility.
