Perhaps those apps can be unbanned in China to prevent all the inconvenience created by the WeChat ban in the US. I understand all those apps don't have the same set of features (payment, news, etc) but should suffice for basic communi

Have you considered using change streams to keep a "view" up to date? Do you have a good cluster-key defined? Very curious about your performance issues?

Perhaps a stupid and naive question, but is there even the demand to lift that much mass into orbit? I may just be lacking in imagination. Obviously most of that mass would have to leave orbit in order for it not to end up looking like an L
