Thanks for your reply.

I work in GIS field and I tend to put a lot of business logic into PostgreSQL because I can re-use all functions/view in a variety of tool from Desktop GIS, BI and even (shamefully) Excel for some our oldest App.

Whenever we'll move to a new webmap or I we'd want to serve an API it's always one connector away. All business logic put into the DB is heavily reusable because a lot of tool "speak" SQL.

I guess in the end it really depend on wether you approach is data centric vs functionality centric.
