I think most people in that group start out with a normalized schema in a SQL db and end up in a highly denormalized or even key/value style setup in said DB. Technically it is still a SQL database, but not used in that way.

public UniProt.org went from SQL normalized -> SQL primary key/blob to proper K/V (BDBje) to custom K/V in the space of ten years.

However, data production is still a mix of batch and sql systems.
