Just use Mongo, it scales so well!

Never understood why anyone chose Mongo. Though I have some funny memories getting rid of it because it was slowing the app down sooo much.

If you need something for storing JSONs and querying, just use ElasticSearch/OpenSearch.

But is Elasticsearch web scale?

I say this with all appropriate irony: as the guy that deployed it at for Wikipedia, yes.
