Article Excerpt:

Lots of good links this week...

  • Membase, powering Farmville's 500k operations *per second*. Of course, some people contend they could do this on their old Vic-20, but this is a useful, vigorous discussion thread on Reddit.
  • Tweets of Gold:
    • kbsingh: I dont understand why some developers think its ok to leave operations people out of scalability decisions
    • karmazilla: I find it a little odd when a database claims to support "massive scalability" when it is not distributed.
    • pcapr: OH: teenagers are eventually consistent
    • tv: Verb suggestion for the act of mapreducing data: "marinating". "Then we marinade it to get the n-gram frequencies."
