In plain words

pgmongo is a drop-in replacement for MongoDB that runs on PostgreSQL. It allows developers to use MongoDB-compatible syntax and APIs while leveraging Postgres as the underlying database. The tool is designed for teams familiar with MongoDB who want to switch to Postgres without rewriting their application code. It bridges the gap between document-oriented and relational database approaches, making migration straightforward for MongoDB users seeking Postgres's reliability and features.

    Hey everyone! I have created a product that relies on MongoDB for a document store but doesn't really need any of the distributed features to really justify having a hosted MongoDB or DocumentDB instance. Now that we're trying to turn this into a product, we're seeing that some companies have a little bit of resistance around managing yet another database. Most of our clients already have and manage PostgreSQL in one form or another.
