My personal opinion is that I don't see a widespread need for more capacity given horizontal scaling and servers that can already exceed 1 Tbyte of DRAM; bandwidth is also helpful, but I'd be concerned about the increased latency for adding a hop to more memory. It's an important vendor-neutral space to share the latest in technology.

I started writing “ Serverless Architectures ” in May 2016. I also rewrote the section on Startup Latency since Cold Starts are one of the big “FUD” areas of Serverless. two ideas that I think are very useful when we’re using technology as rapidly deployable as Serverless ones. I thought a few folks might be interested.

For many years, this effect has dominated the frontend technology market. 1] These technologies were initially pitched on the back of "better user experiences" , but have utterly failed to deliver on that promise outside of the high-management-maturity organisations in which they were born.

Add to this the fact that desktop devices have a lifespan between five and eight years, on average, and that the P75 device was sold in 2016. That is, what was the average device in 2016? The answer, shockingly, seems to be "no" — at least not as practised by most sites adopting this technology over the past decade.

Our customers who deployed Availability Groups were now using servers for primary and secondary replicas with 12+ core sockets and flash storage SSD arrays providing microsecond to low millisecond latencies. The rapid acceleration in technology brought on a new discovery and paradigm. one without a replica). See more in this blog post.
