Because the DevOps movement has redefined engineering responsibilities, SREs now have to become stewards of observability strategy.
Apache Cassandra combines the benefits of major NoSQL databases to support data management needs not covered by traditional RDBMS vendors.
Thumbtack has done a number of studies of NoSQL databases over the past two years, studying things like raw performance, failover behavior, cross datacenter replication, and effects of latency on eventual consistency.
The purpose of these studies is to give insight into how these databases should be expected to perform by creating synthetic workloads to illustrate different properties. In this study, we attempted to quantify how three of the most popular NoSQL databases scaled as more hardware was added to a cluster.
