Microsoft builds open source document database on PostgreSQL, suggests FerretDB as front end

Reads (including the article links) like PostgreSQL supports json and Microsoft focuses on bson.
"to meet the community's NoSQL database needs" and "underpinned by a relational system" soooo... semi-relational-kinda-no-sql database, I guess. I read the article. I still don't know. Do we have an acronym for that yet? RTASDK
