I'll take "less mature" over "data loss" every day and twice on Sunday.

Whatever else you might say about Postgres, that community cares about the integrity of its users data, over pretty much every other consideration. I don't think the same can be said of Mongo, or any other "NoSQL" anything.

I feel pretty good about DynamoDB, but the development model WRT to indexes and throughput is what keeps me away.

That's exactly my point. Postgres JSON support is "relatively new" (quoting OP) compared to Postgres. So clearly MongoDB is better right?

Except it's not and age of the product is a bad qualifier.

The MongoDB hate hype train is even worse than the MongoDB hype train ever was.
