Do they have an official description what a zone is somewhere? Back in the days when we had our own data centers a zone was defined as a "fire section" meaning that it should not be impacted if any other zone of the data center ha

But europe-west9-a is only one zone, why does the whole region fall over as a consequence?

This is ancient knowledge and I would have agreed with you 15 years ago, today the only reason to not use an ORM is analytical queries. Since the Postgres planner doesn't really allow you to tune your query there aren't many ways

If Apple disappears all push notifications will stop working, even the ones from apps you already installed. This is another restriction of the walled garden.

I have a 100k qps workload and we run 10 pgBouncer instances. I ran into the CPU limit with 6. Connections to pgBouncer are persistent so it's not caused by connection churn. The amount of incoming connections is in the low hundreds pe

Not too much if connections are persistent. A problem is that pgbouncer is 1 CPU only so you need a couple of them which makes the pooling less efficient.

I see 500k qps with 30TB data doubling every 2 years on slide 19. In my experience me this isn't close to being possible with a single Postgres box. There is no way around sharding this workload. Vitess has different consistency models

They are scaling down the workforce which is different from scaling down the operation. This might come next because as a business you obviously don't want to operate in a small market where the economies of scale don't work out.

No because they are only HTTP proxies. But you don’t actually know how these companies get them, rumor is that they are part of browser extensions or free VPNs which users might install on their devices. The most “reputable” company in this

Even though it won't help you now, instead of celery-once I highly recommend using the celery-redbeat scheduler which uses a distributed lock to ensure that only one scheduler instance is active. It's plug&play and compatible

If all you need is machines then there is still a massive benefit in using the cloud. You can spin up 1000 machines tomorrow without having to buy them, wait for getting them (2 months later), rack them, cable them, .... Especially if you n

Depends on how much abstraction you have, I have seen big companies where deploying code is basically like using Heroku. As an engineer responsible for a couple of services you don't need to know or care if this code is running on bare

Query and storage layer are nicely separated in the Postgres codebase, you can absolutely rip out the complete backend if you really want it. There is a Postgres interface to Spanner which probably did that.
