S3 is more of a simple key-value store than a full filesystem (and for good reason). I suspect the reason their docs push the filesystem metaphor so much is because filesystems are more familiar to many people, and most filesystem semanti

Your `friendship` table is a simple adjacency list representation for an undirected graph. As you point out, the main trouble in using a relational database for a true graph model is to process graph traversals, which you can do with nested

This is fairly simple to answer: $0. ACM does not pay royalties. In fact, most publications do not -- you grant a royalty-free license in order to be published.
