Cassandra

[Maynard Cabalitan]

Who among you guys knows how to us cassandra? gusto ko matuto nito.
facebook and twitter is using this. kaya na intriga ako.hehe

afaik, Facebook is using MySQL primarily

they use nosql variants for specific scenarios though

Yeah, Facebook uses MySQL for persistence and Memcache for caching. It's not the normal 1 MySQL record = 1 entry, though.

They don't use Cassandra that much anymore. Last time I checked, they're using HBase for messaging instead.

For most of us, RDBMS is fine. It's not like we need to scale our apps to handle billions of transactions. But if you want to try out NoSQL, it's better to go with the simpler ones like MongoDB and Redis.

thanks for the advice guys i will try MongoDB instead.
