Re: [Skunkworks] The Rise Of Non Relational Database Engines

FYI: CouchDB - BBC, Ubuntu One BigTable - GoogleMaps, GoogleReader, Youtube Dynamo - Amazon Webservices, Amazon Cassandra - Twitter, Facebook Project Voldemort - linkedin redis - github, The Guardian MongoDB - Sourceforge, github, New York Times and on a lighter note - I'm setting up Opentaps for a company using AWS, and so far the interesting observation is that the challenge is left to the ISP - 5 minutes of downtime and the Service Level Agreements are quickly trashed and another more reliable ISP taken up.
