using on-demand for latency insensitive work, especially when you’re also very cost sensitive, isn’t the right choice. spot instances will get you somewhere in the realm of the hetzner/on-prem numbers.

imo this is probably the most comprehensive usage of bsl so far. cockroach and couchbase use it to exclude dbaas, and mariadb only uses it for non-core features. lightbend has put everything under bsl. this includes the core actor system th

then why don’t they publicly invite back 8chan and the daily stormer, possibly for a discount/free? similarly, are they lobbying to get FOSTA revised so they can bring back Switter? their opinion is that it is (almost always?) ethicall

(this may be out of date) dynamodb differs from the dynamo architecture quite a bit. ddb's partitioning of the hash ring is contiguous and each partition is backed by a set of replicas. when a partition gets hot for whatever reason the
