I’ve been working in Ruby that whole time, and Postgres is like the right arm of the prototypical Ruby app. We did have a fad where Mongo was used at my company in the early ‘10s, and indeed we had little choice but to do rewrite that part. We actually had an amazing intern do that one year.

I started in PHP land 20+ years ago, moved into Ruby for the next 10, and now am firmly in JS/Node land. I have used Postgres nearly the entire time. It's my experience that you will never go wrong picking Postgres as your primary data store. Love that DB.
