Wide column excel at scale. After speaking with a few MongoDB users this week, they reach a point where managing all that data poses more challenges and introducing wide column databases in some areas are considered.

MongoDB being a great option that's suitable for many use cases. And ScyllaDB can be utilised when a company requires better performance for certain tasks.
