This is the second in a series I've slowly been working on about the "laws of physics" of database scalability. The first is here: https://brooker.co.za/blog/2023/01/30/nosql.html

Obviously, scalability isn't always the most important thing, and in many cases it isn't important at all. On the other hand, there are a lot of assertions of the form "X scales", "Y does not scale", etc. I think there's a gap in accessible content that looks at whether these statements are true, and the underlying principles that make them true or false.
