I think it’s funny that web devs pretty much abandoned hierarchical databases since they are the OG database style.
I think it’s just going to take somebody shaking the cobwebs off of their X.500 manuals and making the query syntax and schemas a little more ergonomic for them to come back en vogue.
It’s one thing to have the ability to mold your DB to model hierarchical data but have your DB engine support it non-awkwardly might be a game changer. People are already used to apps needing a DB, cache, queues, S3, filesystem, service discovery, that adding one more thing would hardly break the bank.
