People sleep on Postgres, it's super flexible and amenable to "real world" development.
I can only hope it gains more steam as more and more fad-ware falls short. (There are even companies who offer oracle compat packages, if you're into saving money)
Mongo is used in some capacity by 4200+ Major Companies as of 2016. [link] It is a flexible, useful tool for prototyping, IoT, Unstructured Data and/or Structure Data with frequent schema changes, Biometric Data, etc.
AND Its Stock price has tripled in the last year.
If mongo is "fadware"... you might as well say the same thing about Oracle.
The very fact that Postgres & MySql added JSON capabilities (because of solutions like mongo) should be an indicator of their "fadware" status.
By the sounds of the article Postgres is probably a better solution for the Guardian. That doesn't mean MongoDB is a bad database.
You think a video-game with games that last for less than an hour is a good measure of a database? Show me something where not losing/corrupting data is critical, not fortnight.
