Yeah, could we talk? Give me an email: mark@gunDB.io, I've been talking to the RethinkDB guys, Firebase, Dropbox Datastore, Meteor, etc. Would love to chat with you guys too.
Email just sent. Let's talk.
I'm very curious how far OrientDB has made it. I remember using them ~1.5 years ago, and it was plagued with bugs, and data loss issues. Maybe they'll be able to take some of the knowledge from the MongoDB folks, and use it to bolster their storage engine.

Interesting sentence. Isn't it a bit early to say that MongoDB is "successful"?

Overstating their success and awesomeness is just MongoDB's normal mantra. You get used to it.
This has been trumpeted pretty much constantly on HN, and even if it's true, does it matter? Is anyone seriously evaluating their database on the basis of marketing copy? I suppose if you do, you can't be surprised if you have a bad time.
Is he well known in the big data community and/or built any of the big data tools widely used? Just curious for more background than what sounds like a pretty common occurrence at startups.

They're valued at 1.6 billon. Pretty successful if you ask me. http://blogs.wsj.com/digits/2015/01/14/big-data-startup-mong...
Interesting, OrientDB seems to have really grown lately. It is advertising itself in the same way I talk about my own javascript based opensource database project ( http://github.com/amark/gun ), multi-model, relational/document, graph, multi-master, etc. Obviously Orient is much more mature than mine (not production ready or stable). Maybe I should give OrientDB a try, and see if it stands up to its claims! Great wo…
I ran into several seemingly independent DB corruption issues.
When I read through the OrientDB community forum I saw many reports of issues which should scare you if you use OrientDB as your sole persistence point. It seemed that many of these issues were rapidly fixed but without a link to a bug report or an explanation of the issue. This didn't give me confidence in the development process for the DB.
There is copious OrientDB documentation and it looks beautiful and professional, but in my opinion the documentation at times does not answer fundamental questions. I don't like to be a stickler for grammar, but often enough the grammar in the documentation was bad enough that it confused me.
It also seemed that the OrientDB is missing some of the advanced indexing functionality that Neo4J gets from integrating Lucene.
I'm planning to give OrientDB another try in a year or so.
