> NoSQL databases are another common scalable-by-default solution that companies adopt as they grow. However, we have a very complex relational data model built on top of our current Postgres architecture and NoSQL APIs don’t offer this kind of versatility.

As I understand it, NoSQL is for people who need a backend that ingests just about any unstructured data, for teams that may not have a complex relational model worked out/stabilized. Postgres has this in its native jsonb datatype, but they wouldn't need to use that much since it sounds like they already have a good data model. What am I missing here?
