That is why big boys databases do clusters.

“clusters” only help when you can deal with eventual consistency (which is often admittedly more than most businesses realize). Sure you can scale your read only instances.

BTW: I work in the consulting department of a little company I am sure you have heard of that knows something about dealing with “the big boys” at scale.

Great, me too, several of them actually.
