100% agree. But there is not a single word about caching or how to integrate it with Relax either. I understand it is a young project but if I need a CMS I want it to have it a little tested and scaling questions not open. Caching is totally NOT trivial with React,Redux,GraphQL (at least I totally don't know how to do it but maybe I'm not smart enough) ... maybe it is even harder with such an architecture. I'm just saying I doubt a littlebit the cool and shiny architecture justifies the purpose (many questions open).

Hey! Relax creator here. Thanks for your input :)

Saying PostgreSQL is a better fit in terms of performance is a bit controversial in my opinion, there are quite a lot of tests between the two and most say it is the exact opposite https://blog.michaelckennedy.net/2010/04/29/mongodb-vs-sql-s...

Despite that, can't say for a fact that's the case for Relax since I haven't test both on it. Mongo is behaving really well though, our demo instance has been getting a pound lately (dozens of users at a time) and it's running smoothly even though our machine is not really powerful.

Also in terms of scaling, Mongo also has a great solution for horizontal scaling https://docs.mongodb.org/manual/sharding/

Having this said, not entirely against having different database layers supported in Relax. Since we're using GraphQL would be a matter of creating an abstraction when accessing the data on the queries and mutations resolves. Not on our priorities for now but we're always open for contributions :)
