whenever I hear people say such things as "Oh..this app won't work well with RDBMS and it definitely needs a Document style Db.", I recall that facebook from its beginning and still use MySQL (RDBMS) database. This proves that RDBMS is relentlessly scalable and can work with very complex apps.

and facebook has had to spend millions in making it work for their use-cases. it's not like facebook just enables the --scale flag for vanilla mysql and then walks away. not saying they'd be able to make vanilla mongo scale to their needs without serious investment either, but saying "facebook uses this so therefore it's good enough for me" discounts a lot of work that goes into making those solutions work for their needs/scale.
