Disclaimer: ex-AWS here. This article ends up making a compelling case for DynamoDB. It has the properties he describes wanting. Many, many systems inside of Amazon are built with DDB as the primary datastore. I don't know of any OSS c

Kamailio is what is called a Session Border Controller. Its primary purpose is to provide protection and some lightweight filtering for the media servers/PBXs behind it. Once you want "advanced" features like voicemail, parki

You may have a problem in your math. A mean of 4.3us with a stdev of 10.9us should mean that your 99% should be over 26us, unless it's super smooth with a few huge outliers. Also, are you sure you didn't mean ms and not us? Seems more likel

Anthony Eden has a project for this from a while back: http://activewarehouse.rubyforge.org/ Not sure how well its maintained at this point but it looks like a pretty good mapping of the concepts to me.

Noir is not bad. I've been using it for a side project. Its no Rails, but its the best option I've found for Clojure at this point. http://webnoir.com/

IANAL, but: It would appear to me that the author doesn't understand the GPL very well. If my code is BSD licensed and yours is GPL, I can submit pieces of my code to your project but if I take pieces of your code into my project, my projec

The article says they are using Office Communicator, part of the Office suite, so I'd imagine they are going full-bore on that. Wonder if they are using SharePoint for the wiki, too.

Why have SSDs killed this question? Seems like you could tweak the amount of data on disk and/or the size of the values and/or the requests/second requirement and keep using it. Also, there are no 1TB SSDs available at this point, so you'd

I have all the books currently out now on Scala and I think "Programming Scala" by Wampler and Payne is the best one for learning the language: http://www.amazon.com/Programming-Scala-Scalability-Function... Steer clear of the Artima book

You know, I think they might have been thinking along the lines of a "distributed Facebook"-type thing when this came out. Anyone looking to replace Facebook should probably learn the lessons of Wave's failure before embarking on their own

I was thinking along the same lines, actually, in terms of a "distributed Facebook"'s similarity to Lotus Notes. However, one of the big niceties of SaaS services is that you don't bear the cost of storing and transforming all the photos, v

The big thing in replacing Facebook isn't "distributed" or "central", its "what could make people switch?" Facebook came to prominence because of the elitist factor associated with top schools, the "poke" concept and its lack of "cesspool-e

I couldn't agree more. XML sounded like such a great idea for this back in '99. Attempted implementation will disabuse you of that feeling very quickly ;-)

Wave is probably too complicated for the average Netizen. I've personally only found it useful as a sort of real-time chat. Haven't checked my inbox in months at this point.

If you could trust a central service to be good, we wouldn't be talking about replacing Facebook, IMO.

Just as I mentioned in today's thread on FathomDB, I'd be interested in what kind of workload scales linearly to 50 cores. I'm guessing its not very join heavy. H-Store's main advance, IIRC, was that it pushed many points of RDBMS engine op

by codeslinger 16y ago
I'm quite interested in how you're handling joins in a manner that is scalable. What tradeoffs did you have to make? Do you support full join semantics, or are some types of joins not supported? Its not that much of a stretch to scale out a
