I’d be interested, which use case of yours would be restricted by Postgres‘ strict typing.

All my experiences were wonderful, especially its performance and powerful features like rule rewriting.

Also PostgREST is brilliant.

I've done this before (postgREST) for internal apps and it's amazing. You can POST a JSON file to the front end from a shell script with curl and have it show up on a Grafana dashboard immediately. I've used this in the past for setting up automated quality tests for machine learning pipelines -- the pipeline runs automatically and you get the results in a central place, so you can see how your quality metrics are trending over time.

Given that postgREST exists, I don't see any reason to talk to postgres directly from a JS app.
