For many years, I explicitly advised people not to run their SQL Server workloads on AMD hardware because of the much lower single-threaded CPU performance and consequently higher SQL Server core license costs. Intel officially moved on to what they call " Process- Architecture-Optimization (PAO) " in early 2016.

Working with never-ending streams of data necessitates continuous processing of it, ensuring the system keeps up with the load patterns it is exposed to, and always provides real-time, up-to-date information. Sadly, it is very common to write logic that deeply couples the notion of IO with the processing of that IO.

This wording is intentional: how work is performed reduces the probability of failure. We are more tolerant to external risk factors because we don’t accumulate process debt or technical debt that makes it difficult for us to absorb risk.

Assessments are based, not on whether the decisions made are any good, but on whether they were made in accordance with what is deemed to be an appropriate process. And detailed they are, often down to the specific task that will be performed by the specific "resource" (never "person", it's always "resource") on a specific day.

While the systems and solutions it produces might automate tasks of the business, not to mention allow for complex tasks not otherwise practical to be manually executed, the production of those systems is a people-centric process. It stands to reason also that the more complex the solution, the more skilled the people behind the solution.

Being asked to do nothing more than assume risk for something such as availability or performance of technology is appealing from an IT perspective because it’s a space we know, or at least we think we know.
