It was a good answer, but it wasn't a satisfying answer, because it had a bunch of ancient pieces of business history as the foundation, and everyone's response was "well, we now understand why you have this problem, mister content provider, but your problem is not our problem".facebook-502774063Tue, 08 Jun 2010 14:08:37 -0000https://www.bytebot.net/blog/archives/2010/06/08/what-do-american-digital-content-sellers-have-against-the-rest-of-the-world#comment-55326016Yeah that's why I have a lot of us have accounts, one with a 90210 postcode!

I would have missed them. This is a very interesting topic because sometimes we abuse mysql, sometimes mysql abuses us and not everyone is able to distinguish between the two. MySQL could make it easier to distinguish with better performance monitoring (SHOW TABLE_STATISTICS, SHOW USER_STATISTICS, ...) but I will guess that MySQL has far better monitoring then NoSQL solutions.<br><br>Also, many people who speak about this have a perspective that at times is skewed by the extreme systems they work on. Some of my problems are shared by many. Others are not.<br><br>Flash/SSD also makes a dramatic difference. A system forced to shard from 1 to 10 nodes because it was write bound on SATA/SAS disk now has an affordable upgrade to reduce the number of machines needed for write scale out.<br><br>Regardless, MySQL/MariaDB must do a better job of getting things done on behalf of high-scale customers. NoSQL is a viable option for many users today.facebook-672818526Mon, 08 Mar 2010 10:46:04 -0000https://www.bytebot.net/blog/archives/2010/03/04/iceland-an-experience#comment-38121350I can highly recommend it.
