Because microprocessors are so fast, computer architecture design has evolved towards adding various levels of caching between compute units and the main memory, in order to hide the latency of bringing the bits to the brains. We formulate the problem as a Mixed Integer Program (MIP).

To address these challenges, architects must design robust and scalable MongoDB databases and adopt appropriate sharding strategies that can efficiently handle increasing workloads while ensuring continuous availability. It’s essential to select an appropriate shard key to ensure even data distribution and efficient querying.

A data pipeline is a software which runs on hardware. The software is error-prone and hardware failures are inevitable. In certain scenarios exactly-once semantics is possible but the best you can do is at-least-once or at-most-once. This can be efficient at the beginning but counter-productive in a long run.

We then discuss defects observed, the role of test and design to address this problem, and identify research opportunities. Each fault has a root cause.

It is best practice to have an odd number of replica set members to maintain voting quorum. To make this process work more efficiently and ensure a smooth failover, it is important to have the same hardware configuration on all the nodes of the replica set. A replica set can currently have up to 50 nodes.
