Yeah, but is it web scale?

[-] zea_64 44 points 2 weeks ago

/dev/null is web scale, it maintains sub 1ms times no matter how much load you give it!

Does /dev/null support sharding?

[-] marcos@lemmy.world 22 points 2 weeks ago

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.

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?
