Over the years I’ve learned two things when it comes to picking a database when starting a new project 1 - most data is inherently relational 2 - Postgres is pretty good at basically any problem you throw at it, pretty scalably. It will fall over at bonkers amount of scale in some cases but you probably won’t have bonkers amount of scale Thus, if you want to pick any new data store that isn’t Postgres for your project, the default is Postgres. You have to specifically convince me that Postgres is not good enough for this specific use case if you want me on board for anything else as a data store.
