ActorDB is ideal as a server side database for [apps](http://www.actordb.com/docs-examples.html#example_filesync). Think of running a large mail service, dropbox, evernote, etc. They all require server side storage for user data, but the vast majority of queries is within a specific user. With many users, the server side database can get very large. Using ActorDB you can keep a full relational database for every user and not be forced into painful scaling strategies that require you to throw away everything that makes relational databases good.

ActorDB is database that does not hide sharding from you. It makes it explicit, so you can keep fully relational chunks (i.e. actors) for the 99% of your database queries.

Even if your data model is not easily partitioned, ActorDB has a powerful KV data type that you can use instead. An [ActorDB KV](http://www.actordb.com/docs-kvstore.html#about_kv_store) type is an sql table that is partitioned across all servers. That table can have sub tables linked to it using foreign keys.
