Unlogged jsonb tables in postgres have generally made nosql systems look pretty bad. I'm really happy the industry finally came up with vitesse so we could have a middle option between "My ACID database needs to scale writes so I'll roll my own fragile sharding layer" and "give up all attempts at schema and consistency and transactions".

Vitess is a really comfortable middle ground of fairly familiar database semantics within a partition.

Same with Citus for Postgres. Or CockroachDB / TiDB for a rebuilt natively-distributed modern RDBMS.
