Please don't move the goal post. Writing `no database ”just works” without (...)` is gatekeeping behavior, creating an image of complexity that for most use cases - especially for those starting out - just doesn't exist.


In fairness, it doesn’t exist for Elasticsearch either.


I have no clue about Elasticsearch, so you might be right – but on the other hand, you just contradicted your own statement about how difficult databases are, so I have no idea which of your statements I should trust.
