Well are we talking with shard capabilities built-in, or having to roll your own? If you can roll your own then I suggest looking at Galera (we use this for our production MySQL stuff) http://www.codership.com If it has to have built-in s

Good points for sure. I think though I'd personally look at the different solutions on both an architectural and feature basis. A good number of the reasons that the original article listed as issues they came across, were outside the realm

Yes, yes I did. My question is why it was selected in the first place, rather than a period of exploration of the benefits and drawbacks of the different NoSQL solutions (which perhaps might have stopped this particular test-case from being

Whenever I see articles come up like this one mentioning MongoDB, I wonder not why people decided to go with Mongo, but why they didn't go with some of the alternatives out there? For my part, we use Couchbase to great success and it fixes

They have cloudfoundry.com which I believe will eventually be their 'service' and the .org is the open-source project. I can't think of any direct implications for them with this as it's essentially what Redhat is doing (as you pointed out)

I'm wondering if this outage will have Netflix looking at alternatives either for only running on AWS, or moving from them. While AWS is a great piece of technology, stable it is not, and Amazon has as surely proven this as I can imagine. B

This is only reasonable to a point. You're essentially doubling your costs because things don't exactly work the 'same' between zones. It's not like you're putting a bunch of servers in the same platform exactly and spreading them out aroun

Well, I am very sorry to hear your stuff is down, but I'd think you'd have learned this lesson a while ago. From what I have heard about Heroku they set out to build an easy to use app platform (which they did). Something like that is hugel

There's also Cloud Foundry (Which is essentially becoming the standard for PaaS opensource) http://www.cloudfoundry.org/ And then the 'pay' version created by Activestate and supports PHP and a pretty GUI http://www.activestate.com/stack

Thanks. I was reading through the github readme going 'Well, that's cool... but why did they build this?'. Seemed to me before understanding why they needed it/built it, that it would have been time better spent working on a new crypto engi

Oh good. Another reason I can reasonably dislike this band. I find them to be a poor version of one of my favorite bands (The Avett Brothers). I would think that having more people hear your music would be a good thing. Controlling or attem

Pretty much the same here... and we have the fabled e-commerce style pages (because we do e-commerce). The only thing that we saw a slowdown for was when we connect to pages from our office, when our servers are in town.. but that's not the

Here is actually a real issue with many of these startup type companies using EC2 or similar services... one of the very benefits that are brought up (not needing to have someone building and maintaining servers) is also the person whom gen

Pretty much exactly this (I've posted this statement nearly word for word several times in response to articles like this). Basically EC2 or Rackspace Cloud, etc. are very good for small startups running a handful or two of instances, or re

Yep... I think it's like 75 cents on the dollar (which I wrote a bit earlier). Pobre California.

Well let's get something clear here. Are you hating on prop-13 or something else? I don't think there are many people at this point that think prop-13 is/was a good idea, but look at it this way... we have the prop system, let's get our act

A couple places. One is that we do have a large number of social programs that other states do not have. Second, we have the highest population of any state in the nation and that means a huge burden for instruction of students (We have eno

I give your troll-fu a -5. There are good propositions and bad propositions. The onus is on the voter to decide what, if anything they should be voting on. In a state as large and as diverse as California the prop system is both a huge bene

Probably you won't see this reply, but if you do... we move a decent amount, but not a crazy amount. In the last 30 days it was around 3TB total (through Cloudflare... we only saw about 2/3 of that).

Hah! Yeah, I imagine that this answer is probably outside of the question the OP is asking, but I do always enjoy hearing about scaling requirements for projects outside of those I have dealt with. Do your requirements (If you don't mind me

I would say it depends on enough factors that pinning down an answer here is going to be difficult. I would recommend however, that if this is a web and SQL type data focused site, that you split those services if at all possible. You can g

Very good suggestions here as well! Thanks for posting. I have a least a family member whom is bipolar and it is an extremely tricky ailment.

Additionally I will respond here and say that I don't think it's wise advice to recommend a Girlfriend (or boyfriend?) for the original poster. I don't know if you've ever suffered from depression, but you rarely even want to emerge from th

While I'm glad this was noticed because of the OP wishing to not be publicly identified, I also note that this more generally will relate to a huge issue we have in society right now... we are not willing to have any sort of real, open, hon

Good advice here I would say! The most important part for the poster is the advice about perhaps looking for another doctor, or even further and perhaps might be helpful as well in their situation, to discuss his treatment with the doctor a

Depression being only episodic? I think not I'm afraid. Many times it is, but there are people with the disease whom never 'recover' in the real sense of the word and require essentially lifetime intervention with therapy, drugs or other tr

We're running some e-commerce sites with 8-20k items through the $20/month plans and have never heard a complaint from Cloudflare. That said, any sites we 'care' about are running on their business or enterprise levels which are much higher

Well, that's cool and I'm happy to see a library/tool like this being released. I do have an honest question though, in that is this giving much besides what moxi currently is able to do? I use that in a relatively large-scale memcached pro

Well, and this is why I recommend running solr on a standalone instance. It (and java/jetty/tomcat/etc.) are very memory hungry in general, so it is worth your while and money to spend a bit more and spin up a separate instance or whatever
