Nowadays, we are putting our JSON into relational databases :D

Oh I'm with you. If I ever need to save unstructured data, I would just use JSONB inside of PostGres. Now I'm a type-safety kind of guy, so I'm not sure I ever would do that. But if I found a good use case, PostGres' JSONB is the tech I would use instead of MongoDb.

How is the name of that product supposed to be pronounced? Why is there only one S if it is both Postgres and SQL? FWIW I call it Post-GRE-SQL because somehow it seems "graduate level."

Originally the product was called "Postgres" (as Post Ingres, a DB at the time), then they joined the word SQL to make it clear it was a relational DB.

I think "POST-GRES-QL" is the correct one, like if it was "Postgres query language"
