if ferretDB truly does provides ad-hoc queries, indexing, aggregation, and real-time data processing, making it well-suited for a wide range of applications, then sure , it’s a great alternative . I can see all types of web apps even enterprise systems working well w it.

We already offer basic support for aggregation and indexing, and we are adding as many features as we can, see our roadmap [1].

We are mainly building on our user's experience with running FerretDB and add features to our roadmap accordingly. We are not aiming to implement the entire feature set of MongoDB, of course, but the majority of MongoDB workloads are not utilizing the full feature set, either.

At one company we had one-off requests to run get some statistics from our mongodb.

Writing the proper queries proven pretty tricky whenever GROUP BY/JOINs were involved, so I used online converters between SQL -> mongo query.

But then I realized that PostgreSQL has nice JSONB type (supports indices for subfields). So I put all the mongo data into tables with a single JSONB column (or two columns id+data, if you prefer).

Turned out that was much faster to run analytical queries :)

"document" is just row

"collection" is just table

Congrats on the launch! Your GitHub Project board looks nice and clean. Do you have any posts or code for how your bot is managing issues there?
