Friendly reminder that this post is published on the PlanetScale blog, a company that sells a database SaaS. Beware of the bias.

I personally would argue with every single point this article makes, except scalability.

Maybe you could be more explicit about what you don't like about their ideas? I personally do like a lot of their ideas, such as the following:

This builds on the behavior that made MongoDB so phenomenally popular, as the article points out. Data management is pervasive in modern applications and anything that makes it easier for devs to implement is goodness.

Agreed. The recent splurge in VC money for dev tools startups is going to lead to a lot more articles like this one. I hope developers read it with an eye towards that bias.
