Update: A Senior PM at MongoDB Tried to Convince me Not to Migrate my Database

Last week, I wrote a blog post about why I'm switching from MongoDB to PostgreSQL. I was surprised to see an email from a senior PM at MongoDB in my inbox the next day. Here's a paraphrased version:

Hi Josh,

I saw your blog. Would you be open to chatting? I want to understand the pains and ask a few questions.

I think that some of the points that you brought up come up from time to time, and it often comes down to data modeling and your understanding of your data... Other times, Postgres is the better tool for the job.

Sincerely,
Senior PM @ MongoDB
