Postgres has jsonb - which allows you for full schema free operations. Postgres+jsonb is a very viable alternative to conventional nosql like mongodb.

Isn't mongodb still favored though for its scaling capabilities?

You can scale postgresql quite well with https://www.citusdata.com/ (other methods are available). The amount of horror I've seen with MongoDB over the years I'm surprised people still chose it (regardless of if it passes Jepsen tests now)
