If you design your software with a bad architecture you will have problems, if the services and their data are 'cut' in the wrong way you will get performance (and other) problems.

That's valid for functions, state, api and service stores.

From the homepage it already looks more usable than mongo, liking the query syntax. Looking forward in trying the performances. Well done.
