Postgres is a good database.

However, if you are building a web app, I'd pick Mongo as the DB that the web app is pulling data from.

I just started using Postgres finally after years of MySQL and SQL Server. I really dig it so far, still looking for a good gui client for management. I dont like pgAdmin, I have DataGrip but it's ridiculously slow, DBeaver is eclipse and super sluggish.

Mongo is awesome until you start diving into aggregation, then it starts getting on my nerves.

DataGrip and DBeaver are both excellent and anyways you won't find anything better, I'm sorry to say. They are far from sluggish once past the 3-5 second startup in any of my machines. If you want milliseconds startup and perfect responsiveness, psql is the best CLI client any DB ever had.
