I've been looking into NoSQL out there, the one that I've paid attention the most is Cassandra, it was covered by quite a few sessions in a java seminar(NFJS)

the dba is still insisting that eventually-consitent won't fit our need, we are still stuck with rdbms so far.  and we need to tackle the scalability issue sooner rather than later

regarding node js, how do you like it so far? do you use library like socket io?

yes.. I'm using Mongo in few projects since a year ago.  Also looking into other NoSQL db.    an ...

My company is still having similar stack like LAMP for front end, replaced MySQL with Postgres, on top of that, there is a memcache in front of it, for the http sessions.  We have been thinking to upgrade the PHP4 to 5, but new features always go higher priority than the system tasks.  We also tried Symfony, but I feel that it defeated the purpose of interpreted language like PHP, since it requires compiling.  

I am a senior developer on the back end team, my duty involves migrating from J2EE 1.4 to Spring and addressing scalability.  Recently we are looking into supporting push, desktop browser and mobile browser, unfortunately only the minority of browsers can do web socket yet.  From the prototyping we did on socket.io, it really impresses me that it supports the latest web socket, flash, long comet, or periodic ajax.  

I've been doing a lot integration across system using non-blocking events listener/callback/messaging, but don't deal them much at code level, like node.js.  

For the prototyping of node.js+socket.io, I'm trying to hook it up to ActiveMQ, if that works well...I can foresee that could greatly reduce our DB hit than our existing periodic ajax polling...

Alright, no more hi jacking this thread

Glad to see another LYK is in the same sector
