That's great, but where can I go to get Cassandra as a service?
And since we're talking about data I care about, it has to be from a company that I can be confident will be around in a year's time, and not the victim of another acquhire shutdown.
I'm sure there are many people like me who are willing to forego a product that may be technically more sophisticated or even straight-out superior if I don't have to worry about provisioning servers & doing sysadmin work.
- deno 15y agoI think you can get Riak as a service at Joyent cloud.
- icey 15y agoThanks, I didn't know about this & it looks pretty cool (http://www.joyentcloud.com/products/purpose-built-appliances/riak-smartmachine/ http://www.joyentcloud.com/products/purpose-built-appliances...). I wonder how adding nodes works - is it as simple as provisioning one and you're done, or does the user still have to configure the ring to add the new Riak node? The documentation says this: To grow your cluster, just add a machine of the same type and size and run the appropriate Riak commands to link the additional node to the cluster. To me, that means I'm still going to have to administer these machines, which is exactly what I'm hoping to avoid. Too bad about the cost, too :|
