That's a very bad argument for an RDBMS, since you want to make it scale vertically as much as you can (unlike your application server, horizontally scaling your database is a completely different matter, and isn't straightforward at all).
- tomnipotent 3y agoThe added cost of JSON serialization is easily offset by reducing the total number of overall queries and implicit (or explicit) transactions. The additional parallelization the RDBMS can achieve is generally greater than the added JSON serialization and extra network bandwidth.
- littlestymaar 3y agoMaybe, but this isn't the same as saying CPU cost doesn't matter because it's cheap.
