If any touchpoint in the cloud failed, the quality of the viewers’ experience could degrade. Thus, the tool Chaos Monkey was born.

When SQL Server applies simple parameterization to an ad-hoc statement, it makes a guess about the data type of the replacement parameter. For the time being, let’s look at some examples using the Stack Overflow 2010 database on SQL Server 2019 CU 14. The bigint type isn’t used for server-side parameterization.

My personal opinion is that I don't see a widespread need for more capacity given horizontal scaling and servers that can already exceed 1 Tbyte of DRAM; bandwidth is also helpful, but I'd be concerned about the increased latency for adding a hop to more memory.

The most important things to understand about server-side parameterization are it doesn’t happen all at once and a final decision to parameterize isn’t made until the end of the process. Imagine someone handing you a query written for an unknown SQL Server database and asking you to identify parameterizable constants.
