Turns out Mongo still has major issues with data consistency.
And unfortunately Meteor still only officially supports Mongo.

It would be awesome if Meteor would officially support Postgres. Hosting Mongo is a hassle these days (basically only Atlas), it’s expensive, and as can be read in these discussions, not very reliable.

(Disclaimer: personally never had a problem with Mongo but the problems seem real at bigger scale)

Hm, personally I love the simplicity of a non-SQL database and wouldn’t want to go back. However, I got a bit concerned recently about their license change which made hosters like Compose drop them. At least you can switch to Apollo to integrate other data sources as well. I didn’t make the switch last year, because I was missing a clear way to use pub/sub with it at that time.
