Hate to be the Monday morning quarterback but hey, it's Saturday morning and I'm stuck in a Starbucks in Benicia. So, this is a nice walk through the optimization process but it is a fundamentally unscalable system. When the workload tripl

No so fast with the yacht, he didn't say they're doing 230k saves/sec. That'd be the case if Warhamemr Online saved statuses for 7M concurrent users every 30 seconds. The basho guy said 7M daily users, not 7M concurrent ones.

The app I've been working on doesn't use replicas for read scaling, just cache-money (ergo, activerecord). We're partitioning for write scaling but no slaves (well, we're doing master/master replication but not for read capacity). After hav

Ping seems generally confused about how to discuss commercial support of open source projects, not just Cloudera. Note his reference to "Northscale, parent company of Memcached" is even sillier. AFAIK, the only "parent" I'd think of for mem
