they all have a Database data model (faster search/query)

Having some experience with databases, I'm not convinced that a RDBMS (SQL) is a necessity here. Better indexing and caching would definitely help though.

While it might be possible to carry on doing without, the data fundamentally has many relational properties and an RDBMS would make life a lot easier. I wish I'd known what I know now about PostgreSQL when I was in my period of working on debbugs very actively; I would 100% have switched to it.
