Could it because many people are evaluating the community version of the database? The enterprise/Aura (cloud) is definitely designed to be more scalable

There's no such thing as "scale" with community edition.

There's no clustering. There's no monitoring. The only user is admin.

But for the low, low, yearly price of half a million dollars you can get the very basics required to run reliable production workloads.

Could be.

We only used the community version for dev, but even that could scale quite well for a single node on SSDs.

But we also spent a lot of time learning how to map our use case to it.
