There is no small amount of time wasted taking data from non relational dbs and making it relational.

If you prefer nosql, consider something like Hasura which reveals a graph on top of a Postgres dB. I’m not affiliated with either but it’s important to not make tech decisions based on what a developer hears others like to use.

Hasura is a game changing server technology. It handles postgres PostGIS and Json types really well.

It’s certainly one thing that made me wonder why I went in the direction of MySQL all those years ago.. from a modernization perspective it would be a bolt on for any existing Postgres db as well.

Hasura supports or will support MySQL soon (but is not 1 for 1 with PG in terms of features).
