> Clients observed a monotonically growing list of elements until [1 2 3 5 4 6 7], at which point the list reset to [], and started afresh with [8]. This could be an example of MongoDB rollbacks, which is a fancy way of saying “data loss”.

I hope they learned the lesson, don't fuck with aphyr.



That's... not the lesson they need to learn. Databases are app foundations. Make sure you do them right and don't overpromise.


I agree but maybe it’s the only lesson they are able to understand at this time. Their attitude was asking for somebody to call them, which aphyr is maybe the best positioned to do.

I’d love to read a roasting like that authored by Leslie Lamport for a different perspective but aphyr’s works absolutely stand on their own.

Any ideas how to get Jepsen and TLA to work together? :)
