Very interesting, though a shame (to me) that it's Go, as I'm actually after a C++ KV store that ideally isn't RocksDB (I want something that's much easier to embed and RocksDB has a bunch of dependencies). Have you trie

You can get lower than that even, if you need a lot of data. Buy a used SC846 second hand, that costs ~$900 inclusive of rails and a SAS2 backplane upgrade. Then buy drives. You can get 8TB drives for ~$230 (Seagate Archive or shucked Reds)

I tried Fastmail for a while but I just couldn't deal with the spam. There was a lot of spam and Gmail's filters seem to be better at dealing with it.

You can capture (in my opinion) better experiences of static scenes with Cardboard Camera ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.vr.... ). It's higher resolution than most 360 cameras I thin

Hmmm... 39M requests per month = 15 requests per second. "20.3MM out of 39MM" of those are hitting a cache, leaving 7.2 requests per second that actually need to be run. The article says requests typically take 2.4s but it's
