Re:Jepsen: Aerospike 3.99.0.3 on Thursday March 08, 2018 @01:34PM (#16546468)
Community edition is not a production ready product.

Use Aerospike only if you are ready to buy enterprise edition. Jepsen test results are applicable to enterprise edition only.

This sounds familiar. Few day ago i over overheard this, "Our user authentication system is on MySQL, it may not scale, let's move it to NoSQL."

Only time this table is touched to check user entered correct password or not.

Agree, there might not be ops team as well, it is dev ops culture. No one in team was brave enough to take the risk. I am sure there are no units test as well to ensure nothing breaks.

Was innodb buffer pool as set to default as well?

I have seen both extreme: no index v/s all column indexed, no cache at all v/s cache at every level.

I have seen caches having more inserts v/s reads.

I have seen them replacing MySQL by NoSQL as it does not scale for them.

This is common for early stage funded startups founded by non tech founders.

I saved many projects likes this, it is work that always hunts me, because of ex-coworkers and reputation.

Ok, what does it takes to enable op code cache? It is not only about software, it is about many no brainers.
And after that pay big support fees to Oracle.

Can you tell us motivation to build this instead of contorting to and using existing solutions such as Apache Traffic Server, squid, nginx or haproxy?

If object goes to MySQL, hire me to scale.
Re:Macworld lays off most staff on Wednesday September 10, 2014 @03:11PM (#8298431)
This might be a good case study for dying traditional form of online media. Credit goes to random dance of Google SERP. As per Alexa, search traffic (for macworld.com) is gone down from 50% to 30% of total traffic, in three months. Google decided to do a (un)fair distribution of traffic.

Niche content companies should remain lean to survive.

They become expert in problem solving.

Would like to learn about company that can pay better than adsense on regular basis. I am reading this first time.

Edit: I would suggest you to give one more try to adsense, it might perform better this time.
