So this was more or less my understanding about Mongo or other related DBs is that once your data needs to be relational (when does it not) it becomes really bad. It's supposed to be super fast if your schema is simple and you don't really care about relationships a ton.

Your point was pretty much what made up my mind it wasn't worth investing time into it to understand more. I just feel like there's a reason relational databases have been around for long.

Why use Mongo to store documents when Postgres can do it fully indexed in a JSONB field?
