Today, we are releasing a plugin that allows customers to use the Titan graph engine with Amazon DynamoDB as the backend storage layer. It opens up the possibility to enjoy the value that graph databases bring to relationship-centric use cases, without worrying about managing the underlying storage. The importance of relationships.

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

AWS has been offering a range of storage solutions: objects, block storage, databases, archiving, etc. Amazon EFS is a fully-managed service that makes it easy to set up and scale shared file storage in the AWS Cloud. With Amazon EFS, there is no minimum fee or setup costs, and customers pay only for the storage they use.

It takes you through the thinking processes and engineering practices behind the design of a key part of the control plane for AWS Elastic Block Storage (EBS): the Physalia database that stores configuration information. This work is latency critical, because volume IO is blocked until it is complete. This paper is a real joy to read.

A then-representative $200USD device had 4-8 slow (in-order, low-cache) cores, ~2GiB of RAM, and relatively slow MLC NAND flash storage. Sadly, data on latency is harder to get, even from Google's perch, so progress there is somewhat more difficult to judge. The Moto G4 , for example. are too stingy to fork out $200K (or $800K ?)

To optimize storage interally, you could use Dropbox’s new Lepton format for losslessly compressing JPEGs by an average of 22%. Thus, it "hides" latency (both in the network and on the server) from clients.
