scalability

This is why the market is filled with snake oil databases promising linear scalability and perfect consistency/reliability, etc.

MongoDB heavily implied the linear scalability, consistency, reliability bit in its early material [particularly in their marketing].

Often you just need a place to stick your data, scalability can be achieved to adding a caching layer.

There are indeed plans to solve the problem you describe (read posts on blog.ethereum.org mentioning scalability) and these problems are probably solvable, but a working system remains far off.

You can use message queues as a bridge between the services for better scalability.

JRuby is almost a platform of its own: you get the scalability and benefits of the JVM with the flexibility of Ruby.

The ideal candidate is a person who is passionate about Web technologies and performance, with the skill to optimize for scalability and speed.

We invest a lot of time in our platform (code health, scalability, security) as well as working on new features, which is nice.

Lately I've been looking into Elixir as a Rails alternative for APIs for performance and scalability.

Responsible for the over-all systems architecture, scalability, reliability, and performance.

No one has ever promised linear scalability and perfect consistency/reliability.

Cassandra, HBase, CouchDB etc even MongoDB have built in scalability as a first order priority from day one and have been largely successful at it e.g.

But they sell it as a clustered solution (mongodb.org is currently featuring a giant banner that reads, "Agility, scalability, performance.

We wasted time adjusting code to meet new standards, adding tests to things we knew we were changing, adding scalability to places we had no scalability issues with (yet), adding new interfaces/code in places where something "might" happen etc.

Why are the concepts of a query language different than SQL, loose typing, flexible schemas, horizontal scalability, and a lack of joins all conflated as being the same thing- "nosql".

"But the industry sure wants to convince us that scalability is the most important property of infrastructure, because then they can sell us complicated tech we don't need and support contracts to help us use it." And lets not forget: replace any and all efforts at code optimization with "just throw another rack of blades at it".
