Not a comment on YugeByte, but... I love it when a new Jepsen report get released. Kyle Kingsbury has single-handedly raised the bar on an entire industry. (Well, not single-handedly anymore, but still.)
- Jupe 8y agoCouldn't agree more. There are 3 sources of information regarding database serializability/linearizability: 1. Marketing material (mostly useless) 2. Individual projects/post-mortems (50/50 here; some just mis-use the technology from the get-go, others have valid feedback, but it's tough to determine when either applies) 3. Jepsen Tests (which is more like independently verifiable science) Sure, you can decide that your social-media solution has no need for consistency (or even durability!) - but in my experience, most solutions don't have that flexibility.
