Exactly. Couchbase trades some availability during rebalance for more lightweight client interactions. As Damien argues in his post, this allows it to meet the same SLA with less hardware.

Our customers tend to be the kind who need extreme performance, so they aren't spanning cluster across WANs. For well-tuned datacenters rack awareness (putting the replicas in sane places), is more useful. For WAN replication we have a

I'd argue that UBI would unlock latent productivity of all the people doing shitty jobs who would otherwise being doing something they love, and thus contribute to society instead of seeing the world as a zero sum game that they got th

It's not about the outcomes it's about the attitude. Which is only held (acted on) by I'd guess less than 1% of drivers, who think when they see a cyclist that they should "teach her a lesson." This attitude doesn&#
