MongoDB is web-scale: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b2F-DItXtZs

NSFWish; it gets a bit personal around 3:11

I had a similar conversation with a heavily-intoxicated MongoDB sales guy in a diner at 1AM after the second day of KubeCon 2019. My concerns were primarily around data consistency issues during denormalization and lack of schema. H pitch was essentially "Who cares?! I'm getting [three-letter agency] to move _everything_ to Mongo because it's so cheap and easy! It's all just JSON! Why does it need a schema?!"

He probably made more than I did that year so maybe he has a point ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Ah, 2010 - when web scale and its secret sauce – sharding was all the rage.
