We used this model effectively at Netflix when I was their cloud architect from 2010 through 2013. The layers of platforms start at the bottom with hardware choices such as which CPU architectures and vendors you want to use. There are three current underlying reasons for the platform engineering meme today.

Hardware virtualization for cloud computing has come a long way, improving performance using technologies such as VT-x, SR-IOV, VT-d, NVMe, and APICv. The latest AWS hypervisor, Nitro, uses everything to provide a new hardware-assisted hypervisor that is easy to use and has near bare-metal performance. I'd expect between 0.1%

This is the second generation EPYC server processor that uses the same Zen 2 architecture as the AMD Ryzen 3000 Series desktop processors. Single-Socket Database Servers. It will also use less power than a two-socket Intel server, with a lower hardware cost, and potentially lower licensing costs (for things like VMware).

The following examples use the public Stack Overflow 2013 database ( download details ), with a single index added: CREATE INDEX PP ON dbo. This uses hardware, typically a crystal oscillator, that produces ticks at a very high constant rate regardless of processor speed, power settings, or anything of that nature. per batch).

By Werner Vogels on 07 March 2013 08:00 PM. Many of our customers have, with the click of a button, created DynamoDB deployments in a matter of minutes that are able to serve trillions of database requests per year. This rapid adoption has allowed us to benefit from the scale economies inherent in our architecture. Comments ().
