“error rate is too high scale everything back to 1 server”
*more errors*
this is fine
Discussion
I'm here to see the cover ups of the meltdowns of corporate servers as they apply AI ops and then blame it on hacks and ddos.
Wait that already happens with regular ops.
the early days will be messy. long term I think it’s viable. self healing cattle is already the norm. why bother humans with alarms and graphs, only to bumble their way through a runbook?
you have not seen FoundationDB
not in practice, but I am aware of it. why?
it is extremely hard to break and just works
automatic self-healing and management
it will tell you where the bottleneck is so you can automatically scale it up
setting it up involves copying a single fdb.cluster file and starting it
but is it web scale?
/s
if by web scale you mean Apple CloudKit and Snowflake scale, yes, actually
it in fact does not write your data to /dev/null
it is a KV store, which means you can build a lot, but also means you need to build your own architecture
perfect for nostr use cases
it struggles a bit with large values, but you can easily fix that by using SeaweedFS (some-maintenance-required FS that allows storing a lot of small files like 100KB)
