I also love the "Reasons to use SQL":

> If your business is not experiencing massive growth that would require more servers and you’re only working with data that’s consistent, then there may be no reason to use a system designed to support a variety of data types and high traffic volume.

This whole article seems heavily NoSQL biased. I don't know what qualifies as high traffic volume, but Postgres has been known to handle 500,000 transactions per second, and there is stuff in the pipeline that is only going to make that faster.

Yeah, the title should be "SQL vs NoSQL: I only partially understand one"
