You don't need to cross borders either. Guess what, I happen to live in a country where everything is banned (USD, Euro, gold, silver, etc.). That didn't stop me from saving in USD, Euro, or Bitcoin. I couldn't buy gold becau

I know the CAP theorem, but that's not what is going on here. And now again you are saying that the data loss is a bug. It's not! Like I said, it's by design, they are probably using a fire-and-forget methodology for writing

In your first comment you implied that it was a problem with PHP. I told you they are doing it on purpose, and not because their code or language is bad, and you now agreed. So I don't know where you are trying to get with this discuss

That's probably by design. Would you prefer one unimportant message lost here and there, or be able to handle 1/1000 of the current traffic to make sure every single message is delivered?
