Great article. I wish/hope/expect everybody to take this type of work/attention as seriously as they have. I am as much of a penny pincher as you can get, so our team built a database adapter on AWS that can handle 100M+ records for $10/day, demo here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x_WqBuEA7s8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x_WqBuEA7s8 . I'm surprised not more people are price/performance sensitive. My goal is to get a system up to 10K table inserts/second on a free Heroku instance, we're already doing on low end hardware 1750 table inserts/second across a federated system. But price tuning is one of the most important things when engineering for high load, as well. Glad to see articles like this. :)
