How Caches Become Databases – And Why You Don’t Want This

March 21, 2024

Companies like to complicate things.  There’s no better way to say it.  The law of entropy clearly applies as much to tech stacks and data management as it does to closets and desk drawers.  In the world of databases, data management, and data platforms, this entropy usually takes the form of a simple database or [...]

The 6 Rules for Achieving (and Maintaining) High Availability

March 13, 2024
By: Mark Simborg
In the age of big-data-turned-massive-data, maintaining high availability, aka ultra-reliability, aka ‘uptime’, has become “paramount”, to use a ChatGPT word.  Why? Because until recently, most computer interaction was human-to-computer, and humans are (relatively) flexible when systems misbehave: they can try a few more times and then go off and do something else before trying again [...]
