Potential plus in cloud/container deployments.

There are other possibilities given a bit of additional wrappers (over the db process) and federating nodes with some (consensus) protocol. It may actually be a good fit as the 'node-unit' for very large scale distributed metadata store that would benefit from relational DB semantics instead of basic K/V.
