Apple built iCloud to store billions of databases
If I understand correctly, bcachefs, that new hot filesystem, is pretty similar to a database - maybe someone knows more about this.

The on-disk layout is very similar to many modern databases, but the interface that is offered to the user is pretty much just a normal filesystem.

That's the difference - the API; as much as you can store a lot of data in either, SQL is not much like Posix. The lower level "distributed" APIs are like OS implementations of the Posix API.
