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. Ford, et al., “TCP

It's an exciting time for developments in computer performance, not just for the BPF technology (which I often [write about]) but also for processors with 3D stacking and cloud vendor CPUs (e.g., Ford, et al., “TCP on Upcoming Sapphire Rapids CPUs,” [link] Oct 2020 - [Liu 20] Linda Liu, “Samsung QVO vs EVO vs PRO: What’s the Difference?

A brief history of IPC at Netflix Netflix was early to the cloud, particularly for large-scale companies: we began the migration in 2008, and by 2010, Netflix streaming was fully run on AWS. Today we have a wealth of tools, both OSS and commercial, all designed for cloud-native environments.

DynamoDB has come a long way in the 5 years since we announced its availability in January 2012. As we said at the time, DynamoDB was a result of 15 years of learning in the area of large scale non-relational databases and cloud services. Our team was really impressed with the built-in failover and replication support."
