Just to add to sibling comments, one killer feature for me is ChangeStreams[1]. It's miles ahead of what Postgres[2] offers, and it enables really interesting use cases. Some of my services built around ChangeStreams end up not doing a single query to the DB. Data is right there in the program memory, indexed how I need it to be, and program is immediately reactive to any changes in the DB.

I remember adding changestreams a few years back to my project, they were amazing .
