Questions & Answers

MongoDB is ideal when your data structure is flexible or evolves frequently, when you're storing hierarchical or nested data, or when you need to scale horizontally across many nodes. PostgreSQL is better suited for highly relational, transactional workloads where ACID compliance and joins are critical.
