Tim Berners-Lee tweets that 'This is for everyone' at the 2012 Olympic Games opening ceremony using the NeXT computer he used to build the first browser and web server. The chief effect of the architectural difference is to shift the distribution of latency within the loop. Improving latency for one scenario can degrade it in another.

The cheapest (high volume) Androids perform like 2012/2013 iPhones, respectively. If those specs sound eerily familiar, it's perhaps because they're identical to 2016's $200USD Moto G4 , all the way down to the 2011-vintage 28nm SoC process node used to fab the chip's anemic, 2012-vintage A53 cores.

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. Our internal IPC traffic is now a mix of plain REST, GraphQL , and gRPC.

Nonetheless, we found a number of limitations that could not satisfy our requirements e.g. stalling the processing of log events until a dump is complete, missing ability to trigger dumps on demand, or implementations that block write traffic by using table locks. Designed with High Availability in mind. Writing events to any output.

All Things Distributed

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.
