We need to be able to easily determine what imagery is present for a given platform, region, and language. Server-generated assets, since client-side generation would require the retrieval of many individual images, which would increase latency and time-to-render. This requires an asset storage solution.

In short, any data that is written must be consistent with the data present. This operation is quite expensive but our database can run it in a few milliseconds or less, thanks to several optimizations that allow the node to execute most of them in memory with no or little access to mass storage.

This doesn't mean relational databases do not provide utility in present-day development and are not available, scalable, or provide high performance. Use cases such as gaming, ad tech, and IoT lend themselves particularly well to the key-value data model where the access patterns require low-latency Gets/Puts for known key values.

The CFQ works well for many general use cases but lacks latency guarantees. The deadline excels at latency-sensitive use cases ( like databases ), and noop is closer to no schedule at all. However, it can lead to the storage of redundant data and make it more difficult to maintain data consistency.

Collecting some critical metrics at one second intervals, with a total observability latency of ten seconds or less matches the human attention span much better. When there’s three ways to succeed, we still have two ways to succeed when a failure is present, and if data is corrupted, we can tell which of the three is the odd one out.
