Thanks for sharing. They validated exactly what I said was of concern: - loss of atomicity and transactions. - tons of custom tooling to work around limitation of custom sql (knowing which operations are allowed and consistent). - GitHub was able to operate for almost a decade on a single MySQL instance, and it’s not clear they really hard to change. Etsy said this was a huge problem and took 5 years and thousands of PRs to resolve.
