I'm curious if other shops are deploying Membase, as it being the backend behind Farmville attaches more negative connotation than positive for me.
My girlfriend has a ludicrous Farmville addiction, and I don't think she's gone more than a few hours at a time without it messing up and loosing whatever she'd just spent the past twenty minutes doing. If that happened to me more than once, I'm pretty sure I'd stop playing that game.
The specific point that m0nastic just said (and which you seem to have ignored) is that it /doesn't/ stand up to it, with an anecdote that aomeghing glitches up every 20 minutes. Your response makes it sound like it was an ad hominem attack of the form "Zynga is addictive, they use membase, therefore I hate membase due to negative connotaion", as opposed to "Zynga's data seems fail, Zynga uses membase, therefore membase may be suspect as it could be contributing to those failures (making Zynga a weird example to choose)".
I looked at deploying it very recently, but it has a little bit to go. They guys at Northscale are very responsive and have replicated my issue. I'm hoping they have a solution in the near future.
The admin UI is nice, real time stats are good. It, however is still in the 2nd beta and there are known bugs that need to be fixed to be considered production worthy imo.

I don't like Farmville much, but attaching some sort of negative reaction to Membase because Zynga uses it is pretty silly IMHO.
If anything, I'm impressed that Membase is standing up to the torturous load of all those strawberry harvests and ponies. :)
We're in the middle of doing some testing with it at Loggly, and we've found them exceedingly responsive to our requests.
