You can scale DynamoDB down the same way you scale it up. Perhaps you're thinking of some kind of autoscaling that only works in one direction?

Since we're talking about rocks, and heat, I kinda wonder if "geothermal" might be a viable misnomer. Fusion is fine for now, but "fission" has already been chicken-littled :/

More importantly: any such rebranding would ignore how we got into the current predicament to begin with... Oil, gas, and coal companies have known about climate change for decades, and it represents a threat to untold megabillions worth of

Domain modelling in F# is lightyears beyond C#s. Parallel and concurrent development, not to mention actor systems (F#s built-in or Akka.net), are also leaps and bounds beyond the C# story. These are Enterprise issues. Identity managemen

F# is based on OCaml, so it has modules similar to Haskell modules independent of Type Providers. F# Type Providers work in the background _while developing_ to provide types to your solution. In one sense they're just a lifecycle hook
