> We need to choose a database: so, let’s start with that.

...Wait, ten years ago the advice was that this should be one of your last decisions: your application should be able to work with minimal changes with any DBMS, and tying yourself to a specific vendor from the start was considered a bad idea. Did it change while I was not looking?

I don't think these things are incompatible. You can choose a database and still use interfaces to make replacing it possible.
