What stack (backend) are you gonna use, node/express or something else? Social media app, you need streams/channels for realtime ... I'm thinking GraphQL and all that ... Prisma? prisma.io which supports PostgreSQL and MySQL. But yeah "social media" = "big amounts of non structured data" (text, images, audio/video)" means MongoDB does sound like a good fit.
Yeah, I'm thinking node/express, and graphql. Never heard of prisma though. And yeah, I guess mongdb is good, so I'll go with that! Thanks for all the info and help >:)
Mongo is a good choice if you have an app where (a) you don't have an extensive data model with lots of relations/joins (like an accounting system, or other "line of business" apps), and (b) you need to store lots of unstructured data like text, images, video/audio and so on.
So your social media app fits the bill, while I'd never ever try to develop an accounting app with Mongo as the data store :-)

Ok, good to know. Thanks!
