Anybody using a replicated setup, with say at least 5-10 nodes or so? If so=
 can you state an average load in terms of ops/sec and cpu?

Kind regards,
Fredrik

I know this guy is a founder of engine yard, but I really question if he
knows what he is talking about here.  He said Mongo was durable and unless =
I
am missing something, Mongo openly admits that they trade durability for
speed.  CouchDB is probably the most durable solution out there I think (I
regularly just kill an amazon ec2 instance in the middle of something and
never had a problem...), which is something he says he values when he
recommends Tokyo, Mongo and Redis.  I am really curious why he says he
wouldn't even consider using CouchDB.   I am using CouchDB with a rails 3
app right now and I have not noticed any problems.

I would love to hear what everyone else thinks.  Is there some big problem
hanging out there that I don't know about?
