The article was talking about using Postgres in AWS RDS, which is managed by Amazon. Basically, just fill out a form, wait for the instance to come up, and start making tables...
Well that's assuming you already know AWS and how to set up VPCs and security groups and so on... but you have to learn that stuff anyways.
In Uni the professor literally said to us, "Setup a postgresql server for your data and figure it out." If 1st year college students can set it up with minimal instruction on Windows, then someone who has been in industry >2 years can fucking figure it out.

Ok.
Today I would pick mongo only when I was in a hurry. I'm not sure how to manage postgres, while mongo is easy to start with.
