Native scale-out in NoSQL
A very interesting area in which the NoSQL solutions made progress is in the ability to natively scale out a production setup without extra effort. Thanks to their design choice of reduced set of operations supported—in particular, the lack of join operations and a relaxed consistency requirement set—such as the lack of transaction support and the lack of integrity constraints, the NoSQL systems have been able to be innovative in terms of distributed computing.
