Did Reddit overcome its rather serious persistence-side issues?
It seemed like the object-blob Postgres store was a disaster, then they brought in Cassandra which was initially used as a cache of sorts, but now is the primary point of contact for threads apparently?
Reverse-engineering the persistence strategy from the open sourced code is more tedious and potentially inaccurate than I am comfortable with, so could a Reddit employee or code contributor provide some insight as to how those problems were worked past?
There was Reddit downtime today (read-only mode), which is common. What's the usual cause of that sort of thing these days?
