Scale Summit 2015 What's Changed Since Last Year: things and non-things
Notes of Scale Summit 2015 what's changed since last year.
Things last year:
- “Big Data is a thing”; Big Data is now pointless
- “Is CouchDB dead?” npm were? Fairly sure couchdb is now dead, despite more funding
- Under still going: Mongo, Riak. Mongo's not dead? Guardian, GDS, MOJ. Mongo on the rise again? Mongo *might* be dead; we don't know.
- Websockets were "standard" but weren't really… except for certain browsers, proxies, etc.
- HTML5 video still doesn't really work
- Flash is still dying… Unless you count CVEs. Lots of flash-based ads.
- WebGL has taken hold? Still true, apparently.
