#FerretDB 1.0 has been announced
Ferret is a proxy that sits between your #mongodb drivers & a #postgres db converting mongo queries into postgres SQL and using PG for the persistence.
I am finding myself at a complete loss as to any practical reason why someone would want to use this. The ONLY case i can make for it is that it satisfies people who are zealous about open source licenses and aren't happy with Mongo's.
Mongo users could port data into pg using existing #backup & #recovery infrastructure, then they'd have both SQL and mongo query/dump/load options for future #migrations
The pg API will lag mongo's and sunset existing features later. And #SQL api as a fallback
A mongo app could transition to pg incrementally or partially, increasing maintainability by using mongo queries and SQL queries where they make sense
