I have never found a good explanation of when a noSQL database is the right choice. In most cases a relational database makes more sense, and when you do really need to save a JSON-like data structure, you have to answer this question: is the structure predictable? Then destructure it and store it in relational tables, if it can be any shape then it can be put in a JSON column in postgres or MySQL. Hopefully you are just reading it and not querying inside it.
