>Definitely agreed, in general it seems like most DBMS mostly scale vertically better than they do horizontally.
NoSQL databases do nothing special to achieve horizontal scaling. They simply don't support transactions or atomic operations across documents. If that's what you want you can just choose an RDBMS with that behavior.

Sounds like vaporware to me. If there are any RDBMSes that support practical autoscaling, they're certainly less mature/established than e.g. Cassandra.
