How can a database become 500 components? What are they doing???

• dclusin 7y ago
  Probably referring to large scale deployments of Spark clusters where the number of servers you're running for the cluster is in the hundreds or thousands.

    I still count 3 to 5 components.

      Eh, i cant get to 500, but I think it's more like "the database" has been decentralized, so now you have * a dedicated key vault instead of installing certs directly on the DB server * separate IAM / SSO * separate monitoring * separate logging and audit * separate vnet, subnet tooling * separate orchestration * separate object store / data lake * separate queuing * separate replication / backup * separate tools for streaming data, batch processing, job running The only real additional vectors for a "Modern DBA" are CAP theorem, elastic scale, cloud security, multi cloud, and the sheer belwidering variety of platforms you may be required to support.
