hoodoof comments on "MySQL is a Better NoSQL"

By hoodoof

I cannot comment on its horizontal scaling.

I can say however that Postgres, from what I understand, has nearly linear SMP vertical scaling up to 64 cores. There’s an awful lot of headroom there. I read a long while back Jeff

Atwood saying that StackOverflow ran on a single vertically scaled database server with MSSQL for a long time.

If I needed to go beyond vertical then I’d maybe horizontally scale in a custom manner based around the application data access characteristics, which plays a huge role in designing sensible horizontal scaling solutions.
