Agree. Boring Tech is Good. Postgre + Redis / Memcached is probably good enough for 99% of use case. ( I still wish Postgre made shading easier )

RethinkDB, CockroachDB and FoundationDB are worth keeping an eye on.

Yeah, MySQL is ahead of the curve there...

ROFL, I was wondering what is going on there for a moment. Turns out "Sharding"..... is not a word and gets auto corrected to shading.

RethinkDB is pretty much dead at this point I think?

They released their new version a few months ago I think. Along with a blog post explaining why it took so long.

Still, I can only be carefully optimistic.
