I love postgres, but the complexity of using it for everything starts to get pretty high, compared to more tailor-suited tools. We should probably use it for _more_, in general, but the cost of "everything in postgres" is generally higher than I see acknowledged in articles like these.
These specialized tools are likely the cause for the increased complexity within Postgres. I would imagine that if we had more individuals focused solely on Postgres, there would be more discussions, articles, and solutions for a lot of the problems "solved" by adding more tools to the problem.
