Hi Folks,
Does anybody have any experience with very large Couch deployments - on
the order of 100s to 1000s of nodes?
For Ubuntu One, we have a very large number of nodes: one on every
machine of every user of the service, and then a central node on our
server (or set of nodes, but each user will only see one) that it
replicates from and to, and we believe this can be made to scale quite
well, although we are still in the tuning phase.
Sounds like a good datapoint. Thanks!
Each user has their own set of databases though, so there is way less
replication needed and chance of conflicts, than if you were to have
one global database that thousands of nodes all replicate between
eachother.
We're in a situation where we're supporting small-to-mid-sized groups,
each with their own set of documents (think workgroups in a large
corporation). A particular database would be replicated across anywhere
from 10 to 100 machines - individual laptops and desktops, plus
workgroup servers. I'm thinking that each user would synchronize with a
local workgroup server, and the workgroup servers would synchronize with
each other.
