The MPP system leverages a shared-nothing architecture to handle multiple operations in parallel. Typically an MPP system has one leader node and one or many compute nodes. This allows Greenplum to distribute the load between their different segments and use all of the system’s resources parallely to process a query.

Retail banking serves largely a utilitarian purpose in an economy. With stability comes confidence in the financial system (a confidence underwritten by federal deposit insurance), and that confidence is a pillar of a strong society. Putting explicitly risk-averse capital at high risk undermines the stability of the financial system.

Build evolvable systems. But we couldn’t adopt the old style approach of upgrading systems through a maintenance outage, as many businesses around the world are relying on our platform for 24/7 availability. We needed to build systems that embrace failure as a natural occurrence even if we did not know what the failure might be.

Control loop SLOs express the active management actions a provider will take, e.g. shedding of low-priority load will occur on over-utilised network links. As a simple example, an SLO around network throughput might rely on the customer running software capable of driving the network fast enough. Why are SLOs so hard to define?
