Hi!
It took me more than anticipated, but it has finally arrived - a comprehensive JSON Documents comparison in Mongo, the Documenter, vs Postgres, the Elephant.
I had no idea what to expect from MongoDB, but with very high expectations from Postgres, as I always do. In the end, even I was surprised how well it handles all kinds of JSON queries and use cases - it truly is a universal database!
Besides performance tests, results and related details, there are lots of queries, indexes and some storage details. It is all available in the post: https://binaryigor.com/json-documents-mongodb-vs-postgresql.html
Hope you find it both interesting & useful - see you in the next entry!
Igor
