High Scalability

AUGUST 17, 2018

12 million requests / hour with sub-second latency, ~300GB of throughput / day. A much better way to do this would be to make a "next Logo" that would allow game players to make the AI brains needed by the robots. When logic and memory chips get to be under ten bucks I can take these big games and shove them into a pinball machine.

My personal opinion is that I don't see a widespread need for more capacity given horizontal scaling and servers that can already exceed 1 Tbyte of DRAM; bandwidth is also helpful, but I'd be concerned about the increased latency for adding a hop to more memory. Ford, et al., “TCP

Run performance experiments and measure outcomes — both on mobile and on desktop (for example, with Google Analytics ). Estimated Input Latency tells us if we are hitting that threshold, and ideally, it should be below 50ms. Adjust the argument depending on the group of stakeholders you are speaking to.
