Werner Vogels weblog on building scalable and robust distributed systems. Today AWS has launched Amazon ElastiCache , a new service that makes it easy to add distributed in-memory caching to any application. Systems that make extensive use of caching almost all report a significant reduction in the cost of their database tier.

Alongside more traditional sessions such as Real-World Deployed Systems and Big Data Programming Frameworks, there were many papers focusing on emerging hardware architectures, including embedded multi-accelerator SoCs, in-network and in-storage computing, FPGAs, GPUs, and low-power devices. ATC ’19 was refreshingly different.
