Genuinly curious: which products survived? All of the ones I read about had problems.

  Basho's Riak operating in non-last-write-wins mode didn't lose any writes so that is one solid off-the-shelf product that gets distribution right. Zookeeper performed well as well. Others that failed redeemed themselves and fixed issues after the results came. I think etcd and Consul devs did that.

    Riak, Postgresql, and Zookeeper are the only ones that never lost data. Consul, and etcd were mostly correct.

      PostgreSQL was only tested as a single node. So it's meaningless even bringing it up.

        It sure isn't. A DB client and server are distributed, even if not "scale out". It's very easy to get fundamentals wrong if you do not design for them.
        • threeseed 11y ago
          It makes no sense to compare PostgreSQL (single node) with Riak, Cassandra etc (multiple nodes). And distributed generally means distributing your data amongst multiple nodes. I don't expect to see a Call Me Maybe test for Chrome even though by your definition it is distributed.
