If you are building a mobile or web app, and not an API product, not having to write your backend is totally underrated. Hasura [0] or Supabase [1] lets you have a solid backend from a solid Postgres schema you design, which the part that arguably matters the most, and not the lossy and error prone CRUD API interface to the db. This frees up a ton of time which you can then use to improve your user experience and iterate on your idea without churning through a ton of backend code.
Having Postgres also helps a lot when you are just starting out and saves you a lot of upfront design and query planning cost you’d have with something like DynamoDB (which is pretty inflexible in ways you can query your data).
