We use Cassandra (multidimensional metrics) *and* redis (counters and alerts) *and* MySQL (supporting Rails). Right tool for each job. The idea that it is a good thing to cram everything into a single database (and data model), beaten into everyone by years of relational database marketing, is not true now and never really was. Embrace diversity!
