Yes, in the end I had to go to a custom hashmap/linked list combination to get the best performance for our specific use case (basically a flow table with LRU cache behavior and also expiration of flows by time limits).

I've considered it for some special things, mainly the F14 hash table because I needed a highly performant implementation (I ended up writing a custom one that takes advantage of domain knowledge to go faster). It seems that it has cla

It is a fine balance. Sometimes you'll need to push someone, but sometimes that push will make them feel worse while not actually changing anything. What I've learned is that there are no general easy solutions on how to deal with

I've used the Intel VTune Profiler, I think it's free. It's a pretty good tool for profiling code and gives you quite a lot of information on how you're using the core pipelines, but you need an Intel processor to use it

"None" can be a legitimate response and can elicit discussion, given that the OP seems interested in what people are doing and necessarily taking advice.

Depends on what kind of redundancy you want. You can achieve quite a decent uptime for a single instance with local redundancy, process health watchdogs to restart things, crash isolation… Yes, some people will need a cluster with no downti

A good thing with "single computer" is that you have less complexity going into it so failures will be less frequent. For a lot of cases, that will be enough. It's also easier to build a resilient system starting from a singl

If you consider "NFT" to be a unique asset represented digitally, no they don't. A lot of games and software deals with the equivalent of NFTs, in the end it's just tracking ownership of something with an unique ID. Howe

Sounds technically interesting. However, it seems that they can't accept credit cards and transactions take some time, so I guess that most users will end up flocking to centralized exchanges for a better experience.
