Clarify a Sentence

[Wbrozovic]

Can someone please clarify this sentence:
If you can do without strong consistency rather than need horizontal scalability , pick a NoSQL database.

This is in the context of Database choice in system design. I am interpreting it as saying ‘We don’t need strong consistency, therefore we can use a NoSQL database which does not require horizontal scalability.’

@Wbrozovic

It means that if horizontal scalability is more preferred than strong consistency than we should go with the NoSQL database because NoSQL databases are horizontally scalable , which means that they can handle increased traffic simply by adding more servers to the database
