    We use S3 as our origin, so using CloudFront makes sense from an ease of use and fastest response perspective. Also, CloudFront offers reserved capacity pricing for yearly commitments above a certain bandwidth level.

    On the flip side, we use CloudFront for > 5 billion requests/month and couldn't be happier.

    I would have quit on the spot- you should never put up with that kind of second-class behavior.

    If you're storing something like followers or friends, a solution like Redis, Neo4J, Cassandra, etc is likely a better (and simpler to implement) choice.

    You had me until the NoSQL rant. I see what you're saying, but modern data stores such as Cassandra, Riak, Mongo, Redis etc. are solving different problems and, IMO, it's ignorant to say that they are simply reinventing the wheel. There is

    Don't really see what parts of mySQL you are stripping away by using this library. It's just extending/improving some weak spots of mySQL- you literally don't lose any features.

    This project looks awesome and really points out some of the major weaknesses with in mySQL/libmysql- * Impossible/difficult to gracefully handle connection/query timeouts. * Extremely poor query/row cache (the table's entire query ca

    I agree completely- most likely OP doesn't need a solution this complex- but it doesn't make any answer any less correct.
