Clustrix – #5 on YC Startup Index – Raises $16.5M Series C
- mbreese 13y agoFYI: For some reason, when I load the page, I see the Wordpress toolbar at the top. I can't do anything (like edit the post) since I'd have to login, but I still see the toolbar. It's a bit odd.
- shloime 13y agoAgreed.
- coolsunglasses 13y ago"Before Clustrix an entirely different kind of datastore, such as MongoDB, would be used. This requires developers to split up their data across multiple servers and use a map reduce algorithm in order to query across all the data." Uhm, no. Sharding is orthogonal to map-reduce, and you wouldn't use map-reduce on MongoDB or otherwise for anything OLTP. (MR on Mongo is SLOW) Something that makes sharding easier/more automagic is nice though. I hate sharding anything that isn't Redis or MongoDB.
- gms 13y agoIs anybody using any of Clustrix's products? Thoughts?

- blueboxjesse 13y agoBlue Box did a big performance experiemtn / white paper with Clustrix last year. The results were impressive. The details can be found here: http://bit.ly/SzFnnA http://bit.ly/SzFnnA
- codex 13y agoI don't understand; Clustrix (which rocks) isn't on the April index at all [1]. Is closing a round sufficient for it to debut at #5 for May? That doesn't seem very predictive.

- dmor 13y agoThey were #1158 (-4.72 momentum) in the April index, which measures the momentum of the company in the month rather than it's overall rank in a list. The YC Startup Index and overall momentum index are two different lists with different methodologies, but I'll work on making that more clear.
