Last week was eventful for NorthScale with the release of beta 2 of Membase and its subsequent presentation at a second conference, OSCON, providing a platform to delve deeper into the project details, roadmap, and collaboration opportunities. Although the presentation was not recorded, downloadable slides are available, and questions can be addressed. NHN partners participated, sharing insights into their experiences and deployment strategies with Membase, which is critical for their applications that serve 17 million users daily, with up to 750,000 concurrent users in China. The successful deployment of technologies like moxi and memcached has bolstered confidence in Membase's design and implementation at NHN. Interested parties are encouraged to consult the slides and engage via mailing lists or direct communication for further information.
