- Vishnevskiy 9y agoYou are 100% right that it is the best at what it does. And thank you again with helping us with that bug :) we really appreciate it.
- tormeh 9y agoI'm currently far down the database rabbit-hole and have to ask: What's so great about Cassandra that you can't get with CouchDB or other AP (yeah, I know...) databases?
- jjirsa 9y agoSolid ingestion story. Very very good write throughout. Linear scaling. Easy expansion / contraction. Complete flexibility in consistency vs availability tradeoff. And most importantly: It actually works at scale. Huge scale. Thousand node cluster and hundreds of thousands of instances scales. Because a good chunk of the active maintainers actually run this shit in prod.
