Approach like yours causes companies not to submit to Jepsen testing and try to hide shortcomings. They did submit, they found problems (it is rare for the Jepsen suite not to find any), and they fixed them. This is a fantastic result and definitely one to be proud of.
Additionally, I am not sure if you fully appreciate the complexity of Jepsen and distributed databases in general.
As for me, I've actually been waiting for this result to recommend the use of FaunaDB in a commercial setting.
- drej 8y agoOh I do appreciate it - I've read Martin Kleppmann's book cover to cover and then watched all of the speeches Kyle Kingsbury has given in the past three years or so. I love this area, my absolute favourite is deterministic testing of FoundationDB [0]. It's because I appreciate this work that I felt the blog post didn't do it justice. And I know Jepsen hardly ever passes (ZooKeeper, I believe, did). And I don't take FaunaDB's hard work for granted.
