Up and Running With Cassandra

  Hiring Evan is one of the best decisions Twitter has made. I hope he continues writing posts in this fashion.

    At least he thinks so: his resume page says "saved the company by optimizing performance up to an acceptable level." That's not a quote from somebody else!

      Just because the quote sounds arrogant doesn't mean its not true ;) I have no inside info on its "truthy-ness", just making a small point.

        Besides, at some point someone looking to hire him is going to ask him to back that up, and it would be foolish to invent stuff you can't defend. (I realize people get away with lying on resumes quite often, but bold claims call attention to themselves.)

      Resumes are the place to toot your horn...

  A very detailed and in-depth post. Haven't gotten the chance to read all of it yet, but it looks like it might be the solution to many peoples issues. Probably the thing I like about it the most is the multi-datacenter awareness. This is something almost totally missing from databases today (i am speaking specifically about geo-redundancy). What I'm hoping is that it still gives you enough flexibility to do really basic GIS queries on data. Does anyone know if that would be possible?

  I thought this was an old Linux Mint review when I saw the title.
