About Database design and development
When a business system is slow, the cause is usually a query and an index rather than the hardware. Buying a bigger machine hides that until the data doubles.
Good database work is unglamorous: a schema that matches how the data is queried, indexes that support those queries, and backups that somebody has actually restored from.

Common questions
Almost always reporting queries scanning large tables while transactions are running. It is usually fixable with an index, a rewrite, or moving reporting to a replica — none of which needs new hardware.
Only if you need something PostgreSQL does better. Migration is real work, and "it is a better database" is not on its own a business case.
