That would depend upon your application, your long term support needs, whether you need a widely available database which is hosted by multiple providers, whether you need a feature that isn’t available elsewhere etc.

What are/were the names of the local water, electricity, gas companies?

Either that or a prototype slime monster trap…

Depending upon what you are trying to do, a Progressive Web App (PWA) might be a solution if you don’t mind JavaScript. Avoids a lot of platform learning curve. (But you do end up having to learn HTML and CSS too)

Also turn off Hyper-V if using Virtual box. If you check out the documentation there’s some warnings about possible poor performance when Hyper-V is enabled.
