I stopped reading the article once it was evident that the author was not making any case regarding databases being unnecessary, and instead was putting up a series of strawmen that sounded like desperate attempts to reject all alternatives to the thing they were selling.
The author's attempt to talk about data structures was particularly baffling, knowing that pretty standard RDBMS such as PostgreSQL already support JSON data types. Are we supposed to forget about that?
