#92Always instantly consistent, always available, and perfectly tolerant of partitioning. Truly, it is the only database which can be scaled to unlimited nodes and remain fully CAP.
Is there a case where dev null can fail?

#93Best stack cloud providers don't want you to know about, /dev/null for db and https://github.com/kelseyhightower/nocode for the backend.
WTF is going on with the issues and pull requests for that repo?
This commit is interesting, it used to support /dev/null natively, but for the sake of supporting windows you now have to use /dev/null externally by writing nothing at all

#94It is also local first, low latency, data residency compliant, SOC2 compliant, zero dependency and webscale.
Re: /dev/null is an ACID compliant database
#95I've used /dev/null for exactly this purpose. I have output that needs to go somewhere, and I don't want to worry about whether that somewhere can handle it. Later on in deployment, it will go somewhere else. Somewhere that has been evaluated for being able to handle it. In that way, /dev/null is to storage what `true` is to execution - it just works.
Bug free software is a pipe dream, but if there is anything I've never encountered any bugs with, /dev/null and true is certainly in the top 3.
Ah you've never encountered /dev/null not existing yet, so when you try to trash data it will actually create a normal file there so every other program that uses it will actually append that file.
Luckily it's usually a tmpfs

#96Earlier quoted context omitted.
I usually do a kubernetes cluster on top of VMs. But sometimes when I really want to scale the standard cloud server less platforms all support /dev/null out of the box. (Except for Windows...)

Still need an adapter library though! Fortunately there are about 7 competing implementations on npm and most of them only have 5-6 transitive dependencies.

#99it looks promising but what about AI /dev/null usage????
Re: /dev/null is an ACID compliant database
#100You need an FAQ section, we have so many questions for this marvellous solution.
Is it portable to all linux distros?
Where is the ubuntu command to install it?
What license does it use, is it free or else?
Is it really open source or source only?
