Re:Pinterest's simple tech stack to scale to 11M monthly users by evntdrvn on Saturday December 23, 2023 @09:22AM (#38744392)
IMO it’s also difficult when you’re in the initial phases of a new company/product, because the system is evolving fast and that doesn’t play nice with single-table-design needing upfront design to work well.

I have had much better luck sticking to a plain old relational DB stack for those phases, because it’s fast to iterate, and then consider moving to single-table NOSQL when the system/DDD has “gelled” and traffic is starting to hockey-stick
