I see a few comments talking about the pain cassandra inflicts on ops, and that's fine, I agree with almost all of them. What the comments assume readers to know and understand is the absolute horror of foot guns, backup nightmares, data loss scenarios with seemingly safe choices around quorum and of course the performance purgatory lined with tombstones. Honestly, your workload is not big enough for postgres, trust me. It is like trying to do word count on a 5 TB file with flink, can you? should you though?
