SQL Databases Don't Scale

I don't see a good reason for "which server has my data" to be in-your-face application logic to code, when "which sector of which disk has my data" has long since been delegated to the platform and forgotten.

If you are bound to SQL databases, either for historical reasons or because the no-SQL database make other problems harder, then 'scaling the application' is a pretty good reason for writing that logic. There is no silver bullet.
