You can run a bank without ACID SQL
ING uses Cassandra, which has no single point of failure, has been around for almost a decade, and would have made gitlab’s mistake a nonissue (and almost certainly would have made this one a nonissue as well - single instance failures don’t matter and linear scalability is a thing)
- grzm 9y agoInteresting. Do you have a reference of how (in what contexts) ING uses Cassandra?
- jjirsa 9y agoI met one of their architects at a few Cassandra summits (2014 and 2015), so their talks should be online Here’s one: https://academy.datastax.com/resources/ing-groep-nv-exploiting-hotel-cassandra https://academy.datastax.com/resources/ing-groep-nv-exploiti...

- eru 9y agoI love ING (or at least they Australian version). I just hope they would update their security to something saner than a four digit pin. (And bad as it is, that's already better than British retail banks, though.)
