Hey everyone,
First post here.I need some help choosing a cloud service to store CRM data for a website I'm building. At the least, I need user's to upload a csv of their customer emails (per group) and save that in a database. I'm very familiar with Firebase and I am using that for auth and RTDB, but I don't think it makes sense for storing the CRM emails and their group associations (ie - email and groupId).
I'm leaning towards AWS Elasticsearch or Google Postgres SQL. Any recco's?
Thanks.

My guess is that Postgres would be better to start with.
Elasticsearch is awesome at natural language-ish searching, filtering, and aggregations on large amounts of data. However, unless your app has a strong need for one of those you'd probably get better value out of a relational database because they are so flexible, and I would guess the integrity and relational aspects will be much more useful for you.
I'd wager that most companies who run Elasticsearch also run a relational db, but the converse is not true.

I would store the data in PostgreSQL and then if PostgreSQL full text search is not good enough branch out to ElasticSearch.
