With SQL you scale it when it is required by sharding, read replicas, cache layers, and denormalization.
With NoSQL afaik, we have to deal with the scaling from the beginning by keeping the consistency of denormalized data, that has additional code overhead. Is mongoDB different in this regard?
Yeah, but is it web scale?
/dev/null is web scale, it maintains sub 1ms times no matter how much load you give it!
Does /dev/null support sharding?
Yes, you can run as many replicas as you want. It’s also incredibly lean on the synchronization bandwidth.
It certainly supports the admin sharting when he finds out where all the data went.
What data?

MongoDB handles web scale. You turn it on and it scales right up
EDIT: I got whooshed. Thanks for the reference :)
edit edit: Holt shit how did I miss this for 15 years. This is great, stayed accurate all this time.
Shoutout to software that had to deal with y2k and is still popular, gotta be one of my favourite genders.
