Status page seems updated now.

https://rbranson.medium.com/rds-pricing-has-more-than-double... is a good example of using the generation abstraction to improve margins. Obviously, this source is not a price increase. It’s just increase in premium over EC2.

https://redmonk.com/rstephens/2021/12/17/iaas-pricing-2021/ Is also great and shows a flatness in price

I’m fairly confident they usually raise prices through new generations of compute instances.

Target Retirement Funds sometimes hold non-ideal amount of cash. Also, make sure you are holding these in a tax-advantaged account https://401kspecialistmag.com/target-date-fund-providers-inv....

They do have HoloLens though.

Detailed read from two contributors on the project- https://www.ibm.com/cloud/blog/database-deep-dives-janusgrap...

Time will tell...MongoDB 4.2 APIs are under SSPL

"Amazon DocumentDB implements the Apache 2.0 open source MongoDB 3.6 and 4.0 APIs by emulating the responses that a MongoDB client expects from a MongoDB server, allowing you to use your existing MongoDB drivers and tools with Amazon DocumentDB."

https://aws.amazon.com/documentdb/

IANAL

Kinda blocked on the compatibility front after the 4.0 API though, eh?

I have the bike+ and the automatic resistance is great. Unfortunately only available for on-demand classes.

just click the lock button on the workout resistance (can't be live workout)

Fair enough. They are the closest I know outside of ultra warm from AWS.

Look up Chaossearch. They do this.

"Read operations assume a data size of 4K or less; each additional 4K costs an additional operation. Write operations assume a data size of 1K or less. Notably, index writes count as entirely separate write operations; they are not included in the document’s 1K."

So many customers don't account for this and it up costing $$$ if your data model isn't a good fit. Cosmos even takes it further w. 1kb units (I have spent hours on Cosmos pricing and am still baffled on how to price a workload.) Although... it does incentivize decent data modeling practices which often lead to more performant apps.

Eh? Source?

If you haven't, you should join the CouchDB slack. People there are quite helpful. https://couchdb.apache.org/#chat

The loosening lens is a bit of strawman argument. I would hope someone at the level has experience with the business side of things... Pichai and Nadella weren't tapped to run their business straight after shipping a release.

Also, Howard joined in May (which is an important one...because this press release is about Cloud not about HR/patents.)

I see this type of comment thrown around a bit, but a quick pass of the senior management suggests otherwise. https://newsroom.ibm.com/executive-bios? Not a whole lot of MBAs and a decent amount of engineers.

No

https://www.ibm.com/cloud/hyper-protect-dbaas is built on Z

You can send me an email if you want to chat with the people building the service.

IBM Cloud lets you upgrade major versions through Read Replicas and also do dry runs, https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/databases-for-postgresql?topic=da...

There is an amount of lock-in with any Cloud workload though right? IAM, billing, support? If you are bought into containers (which quite a lot of people are) it doesn't seem like incredible lock-in from technology PoV when Fargate and Cloud Run exist?

That's also Couchbase and not CouchDB. They forked off CouchDB many years ago.

Cloudant (API Compatible with CouchDB) has a number of case studies you can reference for production success with the Couch API/ecosystem.

Bank Level Security != "256-bit SSL encryption and read-only access."

Really good Kubernetes (managed OpenShift as well) and Object Storage services (Cloud Object Storage). The Object Storage in particular has awesome durability and easy to use cross-regional capabilities where data is distributed across multiple MZRs in a region/continent VMWare, solid database options like Cloudant, and Watson APIs. Bare metal machines, no egress fees for databases.

Disclosure: I work for IBM.

MongoDB does replica sets and sharding. As far as I know it doesn't support multi-master architectures or data syncing. Even the Atlas-style global data distribution is sharding, right?

Send me an email (in profile.) Would love to chat and see what we can do for you.

For anyone else looking to quickstart but on Kube, https://operatorhub.io/operator/couchdb-operator. Should add 3.0 soon.

Cloudant on IBM Cloud is CouchDB API/replication compatible and offers support for Apache CouchDB (1). Also, OpenWhisk integrates nicely with CouchDB/Cloudant and can even be a backing persistence for it (2)
