Scaling to 100M: MySQL is a Better NoSQL | Wix Engineering: "The choice to use a NoSQL database is often based on hype, or a wrong assumption that relational databases cannot perform as well as a NoSQL database. Operational costs, as well as other stability and maturity concerns, are often overlooked by engineers when it comes to selecting a database. For more information about the limitations and shortcomings of different NoSQL (and SQL) engines, take a look at the Jepsen series of articles from Aphyr.
