> However, I believe relational databases (Postgres is what I have experience with) has defaults that are basically correct, and unlikely to cause significant issues, whereas in my experience MongoDB did not have this. MongoDB might be easier to understand on the surface, but I think that's deceptive. Postgres has good and sane defaults. Also the documentation INSIDE the config file is top notch. The one thing which makes postgres the golden standard in my opinion is its extensive documentation. Documentation is key to maintaining an RDBMS Mysql does some weird things on an initial install, and documentation is sadly all over the place.
