Android, iOS? Do they use automatic detection or did they adjust the thresholds.

We started with Elixir, some of our engineers have used Erlang prior though.

We are currently in the process of testing ScyllaDB with double writes for our fixed data clusters. It is very scary to transition to something so new :) Our message storage clusters have a very large set of data that keeps increasing and u

:) np We love Cassandra, and hate it at the same time. Check out this nasty bug we got. https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-13004

The messages struggles have been sadly due to issues with Cassandra and GC pauses caused by bugs within it. We have been trying to work with the Cassandra developers to resolve these. Voice issues should not be happening. Please contact our

What's funny is I got rejected from YC with Guildwork years ago. After flailing around trying to make it work I reflected on why it didn't work, Discord was the result. :)

Cassandra has a snapshat command that creates a directory by symlinking files that hold data (this is safe cause Cassandra files are immutable). Then you just upload them to your backup storage. This is obviously for recovery scenarios that

The pricing model does not fit our needs, and that is even more locked in than the BigTable variant.

This post was about using Cassandra for message storage. You are basically advocating for plugging 2 systems together, which out of the box don't provide elasticity. Or we could just use Cassandra. It is a simpler solution and Cassandr

The normal token system revokes on password change, if you want to revoke and have extra security we offer MFA login which has unique tokens per login. If security is of importance to you then use MFA.

We currently don't share exact metrics for all those stats, but we have shared a few press releases and blog posts which you can easily extrapolate from. :)

They did make the original and the core model is the same, but Cassandra in 2017 is quite different from what they open sourced in features, usability and stability. I guess everyone makes their own tradeoffs though. This has been working w

Last-write-wins is a semantic we are okay with for this data, and dealing with one of our conflicts is outlined the article.

Let me take a stab at that. Riak is not a good model since its more a blob store and we wanted to simply range scan through messages rather than sharding blobs (Cassandra is REALLY good at this). HBase would have been fine for this model, b

The problems that Jepsen found were centered around the "transactions" feature that Cassandra added. We don't use these and don't need them since we don't need 100% consistency and prefer availability (for example w
