Bye Bye Mongo, Hello Postgres

Disappointing article. There are no clear reasons mentioned for migrating away from MongoDB. "All these problems" and some issues with Ops Manager are mentioned, where "all these problems" is a couple of outages. As if other database technologies prevent outages. As soon as they experience a couple of outages with their new stack they will migrate to something else, presumably.

Thank you! I was reading through the comments wondering how no one has seen through the bullshit veil purported by the title, followed by a detailed outline of their migration which I think is the "shiny object" to distract people from an unfounded argument.

The main advantage of the migration was getting onto a fully managed DB. What we didn't mention was that there were also huge cost implications - savings of ~£40k - through switching to RDS - compared to paying for a mongo support contract.
