Postgres can do that? No surprise Postgres is everywhere
FerretDB is an open-source database designed as a lightweight alternative to MongoDB. It acts as a translation layer between MongoDB queries and a traditional SQL database, such as PostgreSQL. This allows users to interact with a document database API (like MongoDB) while storing the data in PostgreSQL. In essence, FerretDB combines the strengths of MongoDB's developer-friendly API with the reliability and features of SQL databases, offering a flexible solution for users who prefer or need to work within the open-source ecosystem. You can see some benchmarks in this article.
