I'm guessing it's inspired by the video "MongoDB is Web Scale"

Wow I can't believe that video has gone viral — I remember showing it around to a few friends 2 years ago or so when it only had a few thousand views. Ironically, MongoDB has since become my go-to DB of choice...

Yes, and it is much faster than MongoDB as there are no write locking issues.
