My point is that postgres is a swiss army knife and you and anyone else would be remiss to not fully understand what it is capable of and what you can do with it. Entire classes of software baggage can be eliminated for "most" use cases. One could even argue that reaching for all these extra fancy specialized tools is a premature optimization. Plus, who could possibly argue against having fewer moving parts?
