Where a high availability design once worked well, it can no longer keep up with more complex requirements. The majority of SPOFs are a consequence of scale, where designs that were once adequate (excellent, even) no longer meet evolving, more complex requirements. Can you afford that recovery time?

Further, open source databases can be modified in infinite ways, enabling institutions to meet their specific needs for data storage, retrieval, and processing. Non-relational databases: Instead of tables, non-relational (NoSQL) databases use document-based data storage, column-oriented storage, and graph databases.

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. The Moto G4 , for example. Here begins our 2021 adventure.

To provide some coherence to the music, I decided to use Taylor Swift songs since her discography covers the time span of most papers that I typically read: Her main albums were released in 2006, 2008, 2010, 2012, 2014, 2017, 2019, 2020, and 2022. This choice also inspired me to call my project Swift Papers.
