The next morning the ops guys will have to call the dev guys to "repair" the database by hand. Truth is ScalienDB runs in W=3 mode at about the speed MongoDB in W=1 mode, so this is not a trade-off that customers have to make.

Does ScalienDB support WAN replication?

Maro on Nov 8, 2011 | [–]

Not yet. ScalienDB uses synchronous replication which works only works inside the datacenter. Across datacenters is a completely different use-case coming in 2012.

I understand the difference. Just wanted to know whether to spend time evaluating it or not. :)
