**Designing for Scale**: Moving beyond simple single-node databases to distributed clusters.
**Technology Selection**: Evaluating or using **Cassandra**, **ScyllaDB**, or **DynamoDB**.
**Performance Tuning**: Troubleshooting "hot partitions" or high latency in existing NoSQL systems.
**Microservices**: Implementing "database-per-service" patterns where highly optimized reads are required.

When not to use

Use this skill only when the task clearly matches the scope described above.
Do not treat the output as a substitute for environment-specific validation, testing, or expert review.
Stop and ask for clarification if required inputs, permissions, safety boundaries, or success criteria are missing.
