And what most people here have missed is that PGSQL is working for them 'because' they now know what their data looks like, MongoDB got them to that point. I can't speak for the OP but some of his examples speak to a lack of experience, which, had they started with PGSQL would likely have resulted in an intractable schema and we would now be reading a 'How MongoDB freed us' post.

The author said they used Mongoose to define the schema, and since they needed to define the schema, they'd rather just do it in the database. So I don't think they'd have been limited by using SQL from the start. Either they learned how to evolve a schema or they didn't have a schema that evolves well even when they were using MongoDB.
