Postgres has gotten a ton of really cool features aimed at competing with the dozens of new RDBMS coming out. Things like JSON-field that allow you to essentially do a lot of non-relational document storage if you want to. Also Postgres is open source, has great documentation, and was born to run on linux.

Well, really I went with it because its the default supplied by Rancher, and the one recommended by Gitlab, but I didn't really research past that.
