I’m thinking of using Ghost as the CMS for a service I’m building. The service needs to be able to hold probably (_ **at the high end, to be clear** _) 1,000,000 pages / posts **per Ghost instance**. Yes, you read that right.

Is this viable in Ghost? Does it just depend on the limits that MySQL has (aka “millions of rows is probably fine”)?
