Are you saying a monolith cannot use a distributed database?

I'm not making any claims at all, I was just adding context from my recollection of the article that appeared to be missing from the conversation.

Edit: What the article said: > The kinds of web applications I’m thinking of with this post are monolithic web apps, with Postgres as their primary OLTP database.

So you are correct that this does not disqualify distributed databases.
