Postgres is actually much less solid, it's a database from the different era and doesn't come close to any post-CAP database, even to the infamous Mongodb.

yeah... no. Can you explain why being "from a different era" (and so having a hell of a lot more development time and battle testing) is a bad thing.

While you're at it you could also elaborate on why Postgres is much less "solid" than a database that literally eats writes without any consensus as to if they are valid and/or actually written. After that you could explain why "post-cap" is a thing.

Until you do, your comment is pretty useless and it sounds like you could do with a nice shot of consistent, well designed database right to the heart.
