As I point out occasionally, Wikipedia is MariaDB front-ended by various caching systems. There's some auxiliary stuff for logging and searching, but its synchronization is not mission critical. Wikipedia is the ninth most popular site on the web. You're probably not going to be bigger than that.

Wikipedia is also massively cacheable, much more so than almost any other application.
