I'm tired of the "lol lets mock NoSQL fanbois" behavior on HN. You fail to realize you are acting exactly like the people you are mocking.
Generally the use case for "scale" with NoSQL isn't that MySQL isn't technically capable. It is a cost/benefit for a specific use case.
For instance, if you are storing counters that are purely tracked via key/value ... MySQL is a terrible choice from a server-cost-to-performance-perspective.
