> Postgres is the best answer if you have a solid team and you know what you’re doing.
Not every type of data simply fits into relational model.
Example: time series data.
So depending on your model - pick your poison.
But for relational models, there is hardly anything better than postgres now.
It makes me happy coz I always rooted for the project from earily 2000s.

Don't get me wrong, Postgres is awesome when things work.
But, for example I was working on a .net project and entity framework decided it couldn't migrate Postgres tables correctly.
I'm not a SQL person, at this point my options are to drop tables, and let .net recreate them or try and write my own migrations.
This just isn't an issue with Firebase. I can add all the fields I want directly on the client.
Even for timeseries there is https://github.com/timescale/timescaledb. Haven't used it, just knew it existed.
