Well that's the thing. You don't need a NoSQL database to design a data tier that scales to accommodate distributed write-heavy workloads.

Lots of people were mad that my employer developed a new distributed NoSQL database engine, but it was literally just an API to encapsulate what an application doing "sharded MySQL" would do in its own data tier. A lot of this is a question of framing and storytelling.
