The FaaS model of cloud computing debuted in 2014 with startups like hook.io. Infrastructure as a service (IaaS) handles compute, storage, and network resources. Increased availability. Because FaaS is a cloud-native approach, it makes great use of multisite cloud architecture to improve availability and reliability.

At Netflix, we've been using these technologies as they've been made available for instance types in the AWS EC2 cloud. 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. The AMI and boot are now HVM.

If there is a newer file available on the server, we definitely want to download it.

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). As we moved towards SQL Server 2014, the pace of hardware accelerated.

For SQL Server 2014 and later , the transition point is 950 rows for this table. Whether SQL Server decides to use rowset bulk load — and therefore whether minimal logging is available or not — depends on the result of a series of calculations performed in a method called sqllang!CUpdUtil::FOptimizeInsert The Data Size Calculation.

They often get blindsided by vendor’s pitch and end-up making decision based on some fancy demos (see my post from 2014 on Adobe AEM ).

Using SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) and storing the events in a table requires reading the events, streaming to table storage followed by an order by event sequence query. Large traces can encounter the 32-bit SSMS memory limitations. public void Dispose() { Dispose(true); GC.SuppressFinalize(this); }.
