SQL Server According to Bob

SEPTEMBER 26, 2016

When we released Always On Availability Groups in SQL Server 2012 as a new and powerful way to achieve high availability, hardware environments included NUMA machines with low-end multi-core processors and SATA and SAN drives for storage (some SSDs). Our design needed to scale and be adaptable to the modern hardware on the market.

The benefits to apps that adopt WebView-based IABs are numerous: WebViews are system components designed for use within other apps. CCT's core design is sound and has enormous potential if made mandatory in place of WebView IABs by the Android and Play teams. There's reason to worry that this is unlikely.

Today we have a wealth of tools, both OSS and commercial, all designed for cloud-native environments. To improve availability, we designed systems where components could fail separately and avoid single points of failure. There is a downside to fetching this data on-demand: this adds latency to the first request to a cluster.

DynamoDB has come a long way in the 5 years since we announced its availability in January 2012. Having been closely involved in the design and development of DynamoDB over the years, I find it gratifying to see DynamoDB being used by more than 100,000 customers - including the likes of AirBnB, Amazon, Expedia, Lyft, Redfin, and Supercell.

Designed with High Availability in mind. We designed the framework to minimize database impact. Passive instances across regions are also possible, though it is recommended to operate in the same region as the database host in order to keep the change capture latencies low. Dumps can be taken any time, via a provided API.

So when we launched in January 2012, we provided simple query functionality that used hash primary keys or composite primary keys (hash + range). When designing a new application that will operate in the AWS cloud, first take a look at DynamoDB when selecting a database. Since then, we have been working on adding flexible querying.

With these requirements in mind, and a willingness to question the status quo, a small group of distributed systems experts came together and designed a horizontally scalable distributed database that would scale out for both reads and writes to meet the long-term needs of our business. This was the genesis of the Amazon Dynamo database.
