There’s a reason pretty much any real tech company doesn’t use nosql except in very clear explicit cases. Every single “problem “ you mentioned is not a real problem to begin with or also exists on both sides and you didn’t even realize you were dealing with them. Like migrations.

That is such a bold claim that is obviously not true.

Can you give a single example of a major tech company using nosql as its primary db for any application?

HSBC : https://diginomica.com/hsbc-moves-65-relational-databases-on...

SEGA Hardlight : https://www.mongodb.com/blog/post/sega-hardlight-migrates-to...

There is a more complete list here : https://www.mongodb.com/who-uses-mongodb

That list is limited is just the customers that are willing to be public references.

Every mature NoSQL vendor has a similar list.

Pretty much all of AWS and Amazon runs on Dynamodb.

Google has Firestore as one of their approved databases for internal use.

Those are ones I have first hand experience with.

I know from friends that Microsoft runs things on Cosmos.

Netflix is pretty invested in Cassandra.
