Postgres used to benchmark faster than MongoDB as a document store when compared to MongoDB running with a reasonable reliability setting. Not sure if that has changed in the last few years though - Mongo has improved a bit, and Postgres is getting faster on each release.

- danpalmer 8y agoAs much as I agree, the arguments are a bit tired, I think the criticism can be useful. There's a tendency in web development towards using well known stacks, and some of them are quite poor choices for most projects. MongoDB features heavily in these stacks despite relational databases being a better fit most of the time, possibly because there's less visibility of alternatives in the JS community.
