right, thank you! I recall in Martin Kleppmann's Designing Data Intensive Applications he discussed a hybrid approach for Twitter, where it is "pull on demand" for power users, and "fan-out" for normal users. So it's a different access pattern.

I don't know if that means abandoning DDB/NoSQL entirely - since if you tried to do this entirely in SQL, you also have a different set of issues! After all, wasn't Twitter partly responsible for the rise of NoSQL in the first place?
