When I first read the title I had in my head that it said multi-petabyte. When I think Multi-terabyte, I think 'yea, that is mostly in RAM'. 4TBs of RAM is sort of the new lower norm in DB machines, and GCP and AWS have high RAM machines at 12TB and 24TB. Not that these are not good ideas about scaling to multi-terabytes.. it is just interesting how much data has grown in size.
- v2thegreat 2y agoHi! I'm the author. I've seen this comment several times and thought I'd address it here. I should've clarified that when I say multi-terabyte, I meant 100s TBs of data. It's my first time writing anything, so I'm still getting the hang of things. Damn, that would've been a more clickbait title, too. Oh well.
- sponaugle 2y agoAh yea, no worries. It is always good to consider ways to optimize, either for TB or PB!
