Have you heard of ToroDB? FWIW they have benchmarks that claim it's running faster on top of Postgres than MongoDB does natively. "ToroDB Server It is a MongoDB-compatible server that supports speaks the MongoDB Wire Protocol (and therefore can be used with the same drivers used to connect to any standard MongoDB server) but stores your data into a reliable and trusted ACID database." https://github.com/torodb/server
In PostgreSQL 10 Beta 1 Released
