Moving to an entirely different database is a monumental task, so if you start with the right tool you won't have to deal with that

Getting a site from zero to 100K hits/day is also a fairly monumental task, and if you don't succeed at that, you don't have to move to a different database.

With Django it really isn't, as all of the differences are (in theory at least...) abstracted away behind a common API.

Thats the theory but in practice its not always so good.

I tried moving from from MySQL to Postgress. Somehow my unique constrains in Django weren't unique in the database so it threw errors when I tried dumping to Django fixtures.

Until you start usings database-specific types. JSONB, hstore, etc :) Django isn't really the limiting factor.
