I had a really promising phone call today and I'm hoping to have more good news about long-term KF stability soon.
Today I also managed to get Scylla working across multiple datacenters. Scylla is a really bleeding edge database system that sacrifices consistency to achieve an extraordinary performance, fault tolerance, and horizontal scaling. It's a popular hipster tech right now.
I'm using it with KiwiFlare because I needed a multi-master database. There were users on cell networks being routed to different frontends every other request, causing them to hit checks constantly (since the sessions were stored separately on each node). With Scylla, I'm hoping that this issue will be resolved.
Since KiwiFlare is so simple it's a good test of Scylla in general. I might look into using it for the Rust forum rewrite - which I hope to begin work on again this year, after not being able to work on it for a few months.
I think in the next month I will be in such a strong position I may be able to offer proxying to websites which need complaint-resistant hosting. They'd have to be US legal, and I'd prefer they be apolitical. Would anyone know websites that would need such help?
