Hm. Currently EOF doesn't have built-in support for the NoSQL stuff. Neither does it support sharding. Or stuff like distributed caching (we do have tons of caching helpers in Wonder, but they won't help you when you need distributed updates).
Also the EOF caching might get in your way when your user doesn't edit only his data, but those of his friends, too - who may be in totally different instances. And on a massive scale, the distributed change notification probably won't help (Mike?). So it's down to WO proper and this will be as scalable as what you can throw in hardware at it. But then again, so is PHP or ruby or whatever if done right.
