The short version

  • Each has a real cost: Angular written for TypeScript, so a plain JavaScript project takes on a compiler step to use it as intended; MySQL hot online backup is not in the free Community Server; MySQL Enterprise Backup is a paid Enterprise Edition component
  • They diverge on capability: Angular covers Component-based architecture, MySQL covers ACID compliance.
