I never understood why people compare nosql to rdbms. They are entirely different systems with different use cases.
Where you neee data consistency and need to always get the same results to a query go with a structured rdbms. Where you need speed over all of that (and there are real use cases for this) then nosql is for you. Using both is of course a likely result too.
There's of course a lot of other considerations. But they're different tools for different situations.
Mongodb is not actually faster. Postgres still beats it in any benchmark that matters.
Nothing is ever actually schema-less. There is merely explicit and implicit schemas. If you don't want to bother encoding the schema as proper columns and instead want the schema to remain implicitly encoded in JSON, Postgres'
jsonbcolumns do a better job of that than any NoSQL database does.
