Keep in mind a modern commodity x86 server with 128 physical cores 4 TB RAM and decent amount of SSD storage and dual 100 gbe nics is about 70K.
Ability to use something like Rust also changes equation significantly.
- eb0la 7y agoI believe the key is able to use something _native_, not interpreted code or bytecode, running on a virtual machine, which runs in a userspace process inside a virtualized server inside a bare metal server. Said that, I believe Rust has a great future in data processing. Just take a look at Apache Arrow Rust bindings and Ballista (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20456273 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20456273)
