Nice nugget from the article : "Facebook uses MySQL to keep most of its data, are you going to get bigger than them" You could rephrase as that as Djisktra did "Premature optimization is the root of all evil" First solve the problem then optimize, unless it gives you a special edge that'll bring money. When I started doing "stuff" I wish I had read such an article. It would have saved me both good nights of sleep AND unneeded worries.
