Generative AI has been the biggest technology story of 2023. As of November 2023: Two-thirds (67%) of our survey respondents report that their companies are using generative AI. Such policies would be designed to mitigate legal problems and require regulatory compliance. This isn’t as significant an issue; it was cited by 6.3%

Depending on the configuration, one can tune a hardware RAID for either performance or redundancy. Now let’s stretch our imagination and consider a second method of high availability, ala Citus. The best way to describe the Citus way of doing things is to reflect how data is managed by a disk RAID array.

We then discuss defects observed, the role of test and design to address this problem, and identify research opportunities. An example of a specification is the correct operation of the hardware of a microprocessor. While testing is important, exhaustive testing is challenging given the sheer size of modern processor designs.

HTML, CSS, images, and fonts can all be parsed and run at near wire speeds on low-end hardware, but JavaScript is at least three times more expensive, byte-for-byte. Engineering is the discipline of designing solutions under specific constraints. That's where the good news ends. You'll have to read on for what it is!

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. Failover is essential to minimizing downtime.
