Hey @brandonkelly, would Craft CMS be a practical foundation for a catalog of millions of "things", each of which contains anywhere from tens to hundreds of things? I'm thinking of a use case that I've been assuming would require an application-specific CMS, and now I'm wondering if Craft CMS might be an option.

I can't answer this specifically, but the consensus in the community is, that if your server can handle the database and requests, then Craft won't have a problem handling it.
> There are Craft CMS and Craft Commerce sites in the wild running smoothly with tens of millions of elements, and we’ve seen smaller sites struggle to keep up with modest amounts of traffic. The answer is usually “yes, Craft can handle that,” but you should take care with a few things that maximize your site’s ability to handle a growing body of content [1]

Most scaling issues come from overly complex content models. The overall volume of content isn’t much of a concern.
