My personal opinion is that I don't see a widespread need for more capacity given horizontal scaling and servers that can already exceed 1 Tbyte of DRAM; bandwidth is also helpful, but I'd be concerned about the increased latency for adding a hop to more memory. Ford, et al., “TCP

There are services at Netflix that use RDBMS kind of databases such as MySQL or PostgreSQL via AWS RDS. Passive instances across regions are also possible, though it is recommended to operate in the same region as the database host in order to keep the change capture latencies low. The destination may be a datastore or an external API.
