On that note, one thing that the article points out is that managing the MongoDB setup was a full time job.....although managing Postgres will probably be as well. It would be easy and understandable to try to make it static and not needing attention, but that is a recipe for bad times.
Having issues accessing Xmillion rows seems like something that would be caught by someone focused on performance of the database full-time.
