I was mostly coding in C, tuning FORTRAN, and when I needed to do a lot of data analysis of benchmark results used the S-PLUS statistics language, that is the predecessor to R. We had specializations in hardware, operating systems, databases, graphics, etc. Rich Pettit is one of the best programmers I ever met.

The basic unit of SQL tuning is the query. It’s also a good way to not overwhelm the database servers … usually. Searching is everywhere on the internet. Michael J Swart is a passionate database professional and blogger who focuses on database development and software architecture. When does this get awkward?

GPT-3 is essentially an auto-complete bot whose underlying Machine Learning (ML) model has been trained on vast quantities of text available on the Internet. It is likely that entire companies will be in the business of identifying these nuances and selling them as “fingerprint databases” for identifying fake news articles.

MQTT is an OASIS standard messaging protocol for the Internet of Things (IoT) and was designed as a highly lightweight yet reliable publish/subscribe messaging transport that is ideal for connecting remote devices with a small code footprint and minimal network bandwidth. This effectively ensures exactly-once processing on a per-event basis.

If we asked whether their companies were using databases or web servers, no doubt 100% of the respondents would have said “yes.” And there are tools for archiving and indexing prompts for reuse, vector databases for retrieving documents that an AI can use to answer a question, and much more. We’ll say more about this later.)

We launched DynamoDB last year to address the need for a cloud database that provides seamless scalability, irrespective of whether you are doing ten transactions or ten million transactions, while providing rock solid durability and availability. DynamoDB stores information as database tables, which are collections of individual items.

The original Dynamo paper inspired many database solutions, which are now popularly referred to as NoSQL databases. These databases trade off complex querying capabilities and consistency for scale and availability. A trend in NoSQL and relational databases is the mainstream adoption of the document model.
