Will there be a chapter about how your preferred architecture compares to in-memory databases technologies? SAP has been creating a lot of marketing hype on this in the last years. Indeed I think a lot of business problems can be solved by cramming more RAM into centralized servers. Yesterday's big-data problems are now routine if you have a dozens-of gigabytes of RAM machine available.
Or is this question not applicable at all (because the architecture makes no assumptions on the type of data storage); the requirements and usage scenarios are completely different?
- nathanmarz 15y agoThe architecture described in the book is fully distributed and horizontally scalable, and I won't be looking at scale-up techniques. The chapters on Storm and distributed RPC does have an emphasis on using lots of RAM for certain tasks though by partitioning data appropriately across the nodes.
