RBDMS are not designed for write-heavy applications, they are designed for read-heavy analysis. Also, an RDBMS is not a message queue or an RPC transport.

I feel like somebody needs to write a book on system architecture for Gen Z that's just filled with memes. A funny cat pic telling people not to use the wrong tool will probably make more of an impact than an old fogey in a comment section wagging his finger.

There are OLTP and OLAP RDBMSes. Only OLAP ones are designed for read-heavy analyses.
