NoSQL is definitely not obsolete. When you go to Amazon its not looking in PostgreSQL for your shopping cart, its looking in Dynamo. As someone who previously worked in Fortune 10 company, I can tell you that most production APIs were being driven off of NoSQL or were being migrated to NoSQL (specifically Cassandra and ElasicSearch).
