OK, so I know that Friday afternoons are usually the worst times to write a blog post and start an email discussion, and that the Friday immediately before a Summit is the absolute worst, but I did it anyway. http://blog.leafe.com/index.php/2016/04/22/distributed_data_nova/ Summary: we are creating way too much complexity by trying to make Nova handle things that are best handled by a distributed database. The recent split of the Nova DB into an API database and separate cell databases is the glaring example of going down the wrong road. Anyway, read it on your flight (or, in my case, drive) to Austin, and feel free to pull me aside to explain just how wrong I am. ;-) -- -- Ed Leafe -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
