A Senior Developer working mostly with PHP and JavaScript, with a bit of Python thrown in for good measure, all on Linux. My tooling is simple, it's GitLab and JetBrains where possible.
There's a few dotted around in some odd applications. We have:
MySQL
MariaDB
Redis
Microsoft SQL Server
Access
I only support the MySQL, MariaDB, and Redis applications; but I have a project (starting next year) to migrate the applications on Access to something slightly more sensible.
Access is like mold; once it's in, you have to work hard to get it out. If you give people Access they will turn it into business-critical functionality, but without the support and testing necessary. The worst part is the inevitable "Why aren't you supporting this?"

The team who implemented it are very aware that it's not supported by IT, as are the directors. I work for a very understanding company in that respect. Any issues with that database are their own.
The team who implemented and manage that one are also the ones driving a build into a standard company platform. Mainly so their full team can use it at the same time. They have the business rules documented, as well as their processes, so they are well placed to help and test a properly built version.
Again, I'm really lucky with the business I work for.
