I really like the Postgres philosophy.

It may not be the best full text search engine, or the best time series database, or the best document/"NoSQL" database.

But if you use it you have all of the above, with having to wrangle micro services.



With the right configuration, you can use it as either of them.

Only thing is that data compression / formatting / structuring and corresponding indexing config must be good.

A simple table with a PK and a document column is enough to make it into a great MongoDB alternative, upto a certain size.
