I like these kinds of blog posts. Not because he's ditching mongo, I like the detail around his thought process because there's an over-abundance of articles about "large company does X" but less of the hobbyist version of the same.

Not gonna lie, seeing him ditch Mongo for Postgres then say "API calls generally take 8 ms now, not 150 ms" made me a little happy. Mongo can make sense, but it seems like he was thoroughly on the hype train for it rather than actually needing it.

In the article, he mentioned that working in JSON seemed natural and comfortable. So after checking to be sure mongo was fairly mature and commonly used, went with it.

Sounds reasonable and not hype train driven

I've heard it said that the best no-sql database is Postgres

Agreed. I'd love to find out the source of the spikes and OOM events though
