Research before writing. EA's world of warhammer f/b app got rid of MongoDB, which failed, to use open source Riak. Mochi uses Riak. Collecta uses Riak. These are Akamai guys who make things work at one node or at 400 nodes.

When I click on a blog post, I am giving that person my most valuable assets: my time and attention. It's up to the author to use them wisely. This author did not, and so I figured I'd post some constructive criticism of their choice of focus for their post. Your response misses the point of my feedback entirely, but thanks for the info anyway.
Also, I'm glad you informed us about Riak deployments, but the last statement is inappropriate: please don't be rude. And spelling please as "pls" makes you seem immature too.
Another customer, Electronic Arts, uses Basho infrastructure for a system that supports 7 million daily users of Warhammer Online on Facebook, saving each player’s status every half-minute, Falco said.
That's an impressive number of daily users, but it's just saving a status every half-minute? I don't see why MongoDB couldn't handle that just fine, assuming enough nodes (auto-sharding is basically working now right?).
Personally I am not at all worried about having to deal with 230k writes/second, though. If one of my apps ever gets that large, I will expect my far-smarter-than-me head of DB ops to deal with it, then send me an email telling me all about how he'd solved the problem, which I will read with great interest from on board my gold-plated yacht.
