What does “intended according to the technology” even mean? Just because software is built to scale up, doesn't mean that using it at a smaller scale goes against its intention.

Marketing copy aside, it's not as if the technical docs discourage people from using it for non-scale use cases.

It’s a key value store. People complain about that it doesn’t have joins. It’s not a relational database. Just one example.

It works best as a simple document store.

Ah, gotcha, I see the connection now.
