For what it's worth, this is the difference between private-sector and public-sector development. The public sector would have instead argued for some budget to hire developers to maintain libxslt and issue RFPs for grant money to rewr

If you're a top X customer running in a smaller region of AWS or GCP, yes, you need to do capacity planning with your TAM. You get to a point where quota increase requests are not auto-approved.

In the naive/default case, durability is more important than latency. Servers crash, applications are restarted. If it takes a long time to rebuild your cache, or if rebuilding it would be unreliable (e.g. dependency on external APIs)
