Cons of logical backups As it reads all data, it can be slow and will require disk reads too for databases that are larger than the RAM available for the WT cache—the WT cache pressure increases, which slows down the performance. Especially if going into or out of storage types that may throttle bandwidth/network traffic.

For example, a ranking team would ingest live user traffic and subject it to a number of ranking configurations and simulate the event outcomes using predictive models running on canary rankers.

I was a little restricted in my thinking the first time around and I’ve come to see FaaS as something not quite stateless, since caching state in a Lambda instance that might stick around for 5 hours is a perfectly reasonable idea. and products like AWS Fargate have made this distinction murkier still. Because of course it did.

Elasticsearch recommends each shard to be under 65GB (AWS recommends them to be under 50GB), so we could create time based indices where each index holds somewhere between 16–20GB of data, giving some buffer for data growth. For every asset indexing request, we look at the cache to determine the corresponding time bucket index for the asset.

That means multiple data indirections mean multiple cache misses. Mark LaPedus : MRAM, a next-generation memory type, is being touted as a replacement for embedded flash and cache applications. Cliff Click : The JVM is very good at eliminating the cost of code abstraction, but not the cost of data abstraction. They are very expensive.
