CouchOne, Membase Merge, Form NoSQL Powerhouse
Julie188 writes "CouchOne and Membase, two of the most popular noSQL projects, have merged in an attempt to become an open source database powerhouse. Even the company's new name is merged: Couchbase. The founders of the new Couchbase say they will offer the ability to scale from the largest data center and distributed cloud environments all the way down to smartphones and other mobile devices. As is the standard disclaimer during merger announcements, the leaders also promise to continue their support for their open source, community versions of their programs."
instead of two projects I've never heard of, I'll only have to ignore one!
Do you even lift?
These aren't the 'roids you're looking for.
If my calculations are correct, the resulting product should be twice as good!
whenever I hear nosql, I instantly think of this: mongodb is web scale: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b2F-DItXtZs
Anybody want my mod points?

Hate to say it, but having a database product that has no ability to keep data integrity combined with buzzwords... Ugh. Keep that away from my tablespaces. I like knowing that data that went in last month will actually still be around and accurate next quarter.
OB car analogy: Yes, the car is faster after one yanks all the safety systems, takes a Sawzall to the doors, windshield, A and B pillars, etc., and removes all but one brake rotor... but one small glitch and you have a lot of mess to clean up.
Other than fuzzy logic experiments that are trying to get an approximate model with oodles of disposable data (stuff that can get mangled without anyone caring), is there any real production use for NoSQL?
We've been using membase in a decent sized cluster mainly for the pure performance of having a clustered memcache solution. It's extremely fast and fairly stable. They need to keep both of those features and not go overboard with the map/reduce and query layer.
And I got to enjoy this piece of wonderful writing:
"No matter how you slice it, I think this is merger is full of awesomesauce."
I'll never do that again..
Whenever I watch one of these xtranormal videos, the voices just don't match. The characters look like the NPCs from Nintendo's Animal Crossing video games. So I come in expecting to hear higher-pitched Looney Tunes style voices, which match how I imagine the Animal Crossing NPCs speaking based on what the in-game "animalese" sounds like, and these voices sounding like grown men just strike me as jarring.
Yeah, but then Facebook and half of Google are "fuzzy logic experiments" themselves.

Combined they are 36 employees and $17M invested
awesomesauce ?
That is almost better than the bushism "misunderestimated"
awesomesauce ?
That's what /she/ said
I'd rather handle document conflicts and problems with delayed commits than the nightmare that is horizontal scaling with mysql any day of the week.

Scaling shouldn't requre a dedicated team of experts.
Now I know what to think. (Not.)
Is it just me, or is it plainly obvious that slashdot is comprised of 90% teenagers nowadays? For christ's sake, the most "insightful" post in this entire discussion is some teeny bopper telling me to ignore the subject of the discussion. And... that's it.
It's as if the discussion never mattered, and the goal is simply "look at me". Forgive me if I fail to see the logic in this (outside of high school, that is).
