When NOT to Choose SQL Server to Store Your Data

I recently posted on LinkedIn that I was interviewing for a SQL Server database administrator role for the first time in a long time. I invited folks: “Ask me your favorite interview question!”
Stephen Vakil had a great one: “when should you use SQL Server to store your data?”
For situations where SQL Server is already in use and there’s a relatively low barrier to entry, I think it’s simpler to turn this question around and ask, “When is SQL Server not a good choice for storing your data?”
This post is also available as a podcast episode, and on YouTube.
