> I may be a bit of an old fart, but this is the exact reasoning behind my decision to never go with "distributed X" if there's a "single-machine X" where you can just vertically scale.
I use this same reasoning to use an RDBMS until I find a reason it will not work. An ACID compliant datastore makes so many things easier until you hit a very large scale.
