Absolutely. To put it differently, unfortunately not everyone has a chance to be part of a product's organic evolution from "all we need is Postgres" to "holy crap, we're a success, what is Cassandra by the way?" | ||

As a data point, I've been at two data-intensive startups where they eventually needed to pull (some) of their table-like data out of postgres, and for both that was past a $100MM valuation. This varies by domain of course, but non-postgres solutions are generally built for very specific problems – they're worse than postgres at everything except one or two cases. |
