Meet #ferretdb. It’s like MongoDB but with a pluggable backend (PostgreSQL, primarily, but not exclusively) and it’s truly #OpenSource. Nice :) https://blog.ferretdb.io/ferretdb-1-0-ga-opensource-mongodb-alternative/

#FerretDB 1.0 has been announced
Ferret is a proxy that sits between your #mongodb drivers & a #postgres db converting mongo queries into postgres SQL and using PG for the persistence.

I am finding myself at a complete loss as to any practical reason why someone would want to use this. The ONLY case i can make for it is that it satisfies people who are zealous about open source licenses and aren't happy with Mongo's.

What am i missing?

As @a says I don't think it is a "should" but a nice "could" to consider.

Need to consider how well it fits your use case. @yarmo maintains a great delightful list:

Wrt Mongo with its SSPL license.. may wanna consider its #FOSS alternative #FerretDB.

For some use cases using a Graph DB might be interesting. I was once very enchanted about https://terminusdb.com (they have changed much since, an idk where they sit now).

Hm, so there exists #FerretDB https://github.com/FerretDB/FerretDB which talks #MongoDB wire protocol, but uses #PostgreSQL as a backend. I wonder if it would work for #Nightscout 🤔
