This follow-up post revisits the question for SQL Server 2019, using a larger number of rows. I will be using the 50GB Stack Overflow 2013 database , but any large table with a low number of distinct values would do. The Stack Overflow 2013 database comes without nonclustered indexes to minimize download time.

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.

In this configuration, the AMI and boot is paravirt (PV), the kernel is making hypercalls instead of privileged instructions, and the system is using paravirt network and storage drivers. But not all workloads: some are network bound (proxies) and storage bound (databases). ## 5. The AMI and boot are now HVM. The first was c3.

A then-representative $200USD device had 4-8 slow (in-order, low-cache) cores, ~2GiB of RAM, and relatively slow MLC NAND flash storage. The cheapest (high volume) Androids perform like 2012/2013 iPhones, respectively. The Moto G4 , for example. twitter.com/slightlylate/status/1139684093602349056 455 06:18 AM · Feb 28, 2020.

Is it worth exploring tree-shaking, scope hoisting, code-splitting, and all the fancy loading patterns with intersection observer, server push, clients hints, HTTP/2, service workers and — oh my — edge workers?
