They likely mean it’s good for latency and not necessarily for throughput.

I still think that graph databases are way better for this sort of thing.




They later note most of this traffic is going to a single postgres instance. Having all the keys go to the same range probably helps throughput because they can do a better job of grouping fsync. But that probably depends on the type of drives they are using (even fast NVMe benefit from locality).
