MongoDB is actively investigating a security incident

I’ll ask again, what’s a good use case over Postgres jsonb.

All you do is poop all over the story about postgres. I'm convinced that no use cases will convince you of anything. I'm not really looking to involve myself in a database holy war.

Is jsonb in Postgres not flexible enough? I dump external json in there all the time (like large API responses). The jsonb operators work well. And there's an escape hatch that lets you easily convert json to a table. And importantly, you get indexes with Postgres.

I apologize for being short with you in my previous response. I need to be better about assuming good faith.

Your response seems to betray a certain ignorance of mongo. Don't you realize that mongo has indexes?

For handling documents, this blog post covers the topic in some depth.

Might I suggest you actually use mongo on a project before engaging further on the topic. It clearly has had a lot more thought put into it in the context of json documents.

If postgres works great for your use cases, great, go be happy with the tool.

Definitely a better solution than the brick wall he hit. Complicated beastie. I can see the appeal if you just love, eat, and breath SQL.

But a query language within a query language feels bolted onto something alien to do something pretty basic. Pass. If I'm teaching this to new engineers, pass also.
