TL;DR: A lot has changed since 2017 when we last estimated a global baseline resource per-page resource budget of 130-170KiB. A then-representative $200USD device had 4-8 slow (in-order, low-cache) cores, ~2GiB of RAM, and relatively slow MLC NAND flash storage. Modern network performance and availability. Hard Reset.

On multi-core machines – which is the majority of the hardware nowadays – and in the cloud, we have multiple cores available for use. Aurora Parallel Query response time (for queries which can not use indexes) can be 5x-10x better compared to the non-parallel fully cached operations. With faster disks (i.e.

Richard Thaler won the 2017 Nobel prize in Economics for his work on Behavioral Economics. In industry, engineers (me included) sometimes attack a problem with the tools they have readily available rather than taking a step back and examining the issue at large. We believed existing hardware and OS protocols protected the processor.
