      The fact that a lot of relational databases now offer document storage does lend credence to the idea, but at the same time you lose so much when you only have document storage

      I’ve used it before but couldn’t see the advantage over using JSONB with Postgres except change streams.

      “gimme your mongodb url for me to do anything”

      • random docker container or tool.

      Last example where I was … Annoyed by: unifi. Their management application demands a mongodb.

        This has actually prevented me from upgrading it because my homelab hardware was one generation too old for AVX instructions, which are required now. And now hardware is going to be priced out of range for average people.

        Anyway I just said fuck it and I’m using the ISP router. I’ve too much other bullshit to deal with. Fuck MongoDB

          Maybe FerretDB will work.

          FerretDB allows you to use MongoDB drivers seamlessly with PostgreSQL as the database backend. Use all tools, drivers, UIs, and the same query language and stay open-source.
