You're in good hands with HighScalability: 

  • Netflix - Cassandra, AWS, 288 instances, 3.3 million writes per second.
  • Quotable quotes:
    • @bretlowery : "A #DBA walks into a #NoSQL bar, but turns and leaves because he couldn't find a table."
    • @AdanVali : HP to Deploy Memristor Powered SSD Replacement Within 18 Months
    • @eden : Ori Lahav: "When planning scalability, think x100, design x5 and deploy x1.5 of current traffic"
    • @jkalucki : If you are IO bound, start with your checkbook!
  • Everything I Ever Learned About JVM Performance Tuning @Twitter. Learn how to tune your Hotspot and other Javasutra secrets.
  • By moving off the cloud Mixipanel may have lost their angel status. Why would they do such a thing? Read Why We Moved Off The Cloud for the details.

It’s solvable, certainly, but with lots of time and money and it’s hard to justify the cost when there’s a better alternative available. On reddit. On Hacker News. Is that a bell I hear?
