My reading of the article was not that it uses the protocol, but that it actually unpacks it into an actual Postgres database. This obviously looks bad for MongoDB if their analytics literally uses a competing database.

If you're interested in how much computation gets pushed down into the MongoDB database, versus how much gets pulled back into PostgreSQL, you can find some examples here:

Warning: It's not pretty.

Thank you. The writer had way too much fun writing that --at the expense of the actual article. There is about one page of actual information woven into 12 pages of anecdotes of wandering around a conference being exasperated.

That namedropping though!
