Yep, you're absolutely right. In multitenant SaaS apps with extremely uneven distribution of traffic, it's pretty common for large customers to get their own dedicated DB servers. > The advanced is to have a layer of queuing be

Ah, gotcha. Yeah, it makes sense to avoid synchronously turning away data as that does defeat the point of the product. And the cost for rejecting false negatives is high because the moment when a client is receiving lots of data is when it

Not all executives are chief executives. Meyer surely could have gotten another VP or SVP job at a non-Google company with momentum. To require compensation for risk/opportunity cost in foregoing those opportunities seems very reasonab
