A common question that I get is why do we offer so many database products? To do this, they need to be able to use multiple databases and data models within the same application. Seldom can one database fit the needs of multiple distinct use cases. Seldom can one database fit the needs of multiple distinct use cases.

Last week we looked at a function shipping solution to the problem; Cloudburst uses the more common data shipping to bring data to caches next to function runtimes (though you could also make a case that the scheduling algorithm placing function execution in locations where the data is cached a flavour of function-shipping too).

Coupled with stateless application servers to execute business logic and a database-like system to provide persistent storage, they form a core component of popular data center service archictectures.

Fast Data is an emerging industry term for information that is arriving at high volume and incredible rates, faster than traditional databases can manage. While caching continues to be a dominant use of ElastiCache for Redis, we see customers increasingly use it as an in-memory NoSQL database. Redis and Fast Data.

Which I’m quite happy to see as my most recent data pipeline is based around Lambda, S3, and Athena, and it’s been working great for my use case. For query executors that can be frequently started and stopped the authors explore performance with cold and warm caches (where applicable), and also the horizontal and vertical scaling performance.
