Thanks! And thank you for helping make Rust awesome.

Android, iOS? Do they use automatic detection or did they adjust the thresholds.

We started with Elixir, some of our engineers have used Erlang prior though.

We are currently in the process of testing ScyllaDB with double writes for our fixed data clusters. It is very scary to transition to something so new :) Our message storage cluste…

You are 100% right that it is the best at what it does. And thank you again with helping us with that bug :) we really appreciate it.

The normal token system revokes on password change, if you want to revoke and have extra security we offer MFA login which has unique tokens per login. If security is of importance…

We currently don't share exact metrics for all those stats, but we have shared a few press releases and blog posts which you can easily extrapolate from. :)

They did make the original and the core model is the same, but Cassandra in 2017 is quite different from what they open sourced in features, usability and stability. I guess everyo…

Last-write-wins is a semantic we are okay with for this data, and dealing with one of our conflicts is outlined the article.

Let me take a stab at that. Riak is not a good model since its more a blob store and we wanted to simply range scan through messages rather than sharding blobs (Cassandra is REALLY…

I am :) glad people remember me from FFXI haha Add me on Discord if you ever wanna chat, Stanislav#7943
