Yeah, that's pretty much it. They didn't say "MongoDB keeps crashing because it can't support the load we're putting on it right now." They said it keeps crashing because of "bad queries." Leaving aside the fact that no database worthy of the term should ever be crashing due to a "bad query," there's also the fact that a very important component of their architecture (a data store) isn't even close to being reliable. Yet, somehow, the name of the company is "Scale.ai?" It's absurd is what it is.

This simplistic assertion only shows your lack of experience working with huge volume of data / txs.
