Comment on Membase, The Database Powering Farmvilleparent

Comments

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.

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)".
