We have expanded the AWS footprint in the US and starting today a new AWS Region is available for use: US-West (Northern California). This new Region consists of multiple Availability Zones and provides low-latency access to the AWS services from for example the Bay Area. AWS is committed to making its services available at low cost.

What if we use ClickHouse (which is a columnar analytical database) as our main datastore? Well, typically, an analytical database is not a replacement for a transactional or key/value datastore. This information can be a mix of analytical (OLAP) queries (i.e. Analytical databases are optimized for a low number of slow queries.

With this change, we will improve the granularity of pricing information you receive by introducing a Spot Instance price per Availability Zone rather than a Spot Instance price per Region. Customers whose bids exceed the Spot price gain access to the available Spot Instances and run as long as the bid exceeds the Spot Price.

If you need to achieve high-availability and scalable performance, you will need to resort to data replication techniques.

A then-representative $200USD device had 4-8 slow (in-order, low-cache) cores, ~2GiB of RAM, and relatively slow MLC NAND flash storage. Modern network performance and availability. We only need to hold the line on script bloat for a few years for devices and networks to overtake the extreme, unconscionable excesses of the 2010's.
