Ironies of automation , Bainbridge, Automatica, Vol. 19, No. 6, 1983. With thanks to Thomas Depierre for the paper recommendation. Making predictions is a dangerous game, but as we look forward to the next decade a few things seem certain: increasing automation, increasing system complexity, faster processing, more inter-connectivity, and an even greater human and societal dependence on technology.

Learn more about JUnit and Byteman! Testing asynchronous operations might cause some troubles and usually requires few challenges and also code changes (even in production code). In this article, we can find how to test such operations in an application that uses spring context (with asynchronous operations enabled). We don’t have to change the production code to achieve this.

At re:Invent in Las Vegas in December 2019, AWS announced the public preview of RDS Proxy, a fully managed database proxy that sits between your application and RDS. The new service offers to “share established database connections, improving database efficiency and application scalability” But one of the benefits that caught my eye is the ability to reduce the downtime in case of an instance failure and a failover.

In part 1 , I showed how both page and columnstore compression could reduce the size of a 1TB table by 80% or more. While I was impressed I could shrink a table from 1TB to 50GB, I wasn't very happy with the amount of time it took (anywhere from 2 to 14 hours). With some tips graciously borrowed from folks like Joe Obbish , Lonny Niederstadt , Niko Neugebauer , and others, in this post I will try to make some changes to my original attempt to get better load performance.
