And I wish they never get old. Every few years, new paradigms come to the forefront and debates like these certainly help many developers choose one way or the other.

In what paradigm are you referring to exactly with Postgres and Mongodb?

Relational turning 51 years old in 2021 while key-value stores category (which MongoDB falls into) is at least 40.

So in a sense this article is about which technology should we use, a 40 or a 50 years old one?

MongoDB is not a key-value store. It's a document database.

"Document-oriented databases are inherently a subclass of the key-value store, another NoSQL database concept."
