That was a major impetus for this video, IIRC. The "MongoDB is web-scale" video went around Google about a month before Broccoli Man and some enterprising Googler figured they could use the same software to make a satire of Google's internal tools.

NSFWish; it gets a bit personal around 3:11

I had a similar conversation with a heavily-intoxicated MongoDB sales guy in a diner at 1AM after the second day of KubeCon 2019. My concerns were primarily around data consistency issues during denormalization and lack of schema. H pitch was essentially "Who cares?! I'm getting [three-letter agency] to move _everything_ to Mongo because it's so cheap and easy! It's all just JSON! Why does it need a schema?!"

He probably made more than I did that year so maybe he has a point ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I miss 2010.

Ah, 2010 - when web scale and its secret sauce – sharding was all the rage.

/dev/null is also web-scale

Is /dev/null fast? I will use /dev/null if it is fast.

does it support sharding?

It supports sharting: https://github.com/dcramer/mangodb

And available as a SaaS: https://devnull-as-a-service.com/

But is it planet-scale?

That's out of date, we're now in the days of IPFS.

Maybe because mongodb had been out less than a year in 2010?

I think you missed the /s from GP.

quite likily.
