You can outgrow vanilla Postgres without abandoning Postgres

As data enthusiasts adopt Postgres for storing and managing relational data, they may encounter limitations when dealing with high-volume, high-velocity data streams. Slow queries, increased maintenance requirements, and frequent database upkeep can all strain the system. Developers are increasingly adopting Postgres for AI applications due to its flexibility and extensive ecosystem.
