Neat. I have never heard of this DB system before. I wonder if anyone has clever ideas for how to do this well in MySQL as it is not always practical to move to a different DB for a single use case, and MySQL doesn't have a good way to do this without table locking, I think 😱

If you have a huge system probably you will work with multiple databases.

Scylla is a database that can handle monstrously amount of data easily if you model in the right way.

We have a free cloud environment, give it a try!
