MongoDB

PostgreSQL JSONB covers the use cases. Move on.

MongoDB is a good database for genuinely document-shaped data — content management systems, product catalogues, event logs. It's a poor default choice, which is how too many teams use it.

PostgreSQL with JSONB covers most use cases where teams reach for MongoDB out of habit. When your data has relationships, you want a relational database. MongoDB shines when your data is truly hierarchical, schema-flexible, and doesn't need joins.
