Really well thought out article.

The single app vs. multiple apps distinction is a good frame for constructive discussion.

Not so much because Postgres is better or vice versa but because in these days of agile and YAGNI development* there's a real problem with some developers not thinking further than the next iteration.

I like that development shouldn't be weighed down by 'what if we'll need X someday maybe' but it should have at least a rough roadmap - the terminology i use next is irrelevant but I'm getting at the idea of having macro, micro and miso level goals defined - in the future we'll deliver architecture concern Y, so let's not box our implementation into an incompatible state.
