All scale out databases use some form of sharding, tautologically. The parent asked about use cases where there wasn’t an _external_ (which I interpret to mean “handled explicitly by the app, not the database”) sharding / caching layer

Sure, but that's not what I (or the sibling commenter) was saying. I'm a proponent of using more secure languages, my point is just that if you think it will mean a world in which you won't be "finding critical issues
