This allows us to tune both our hardware and our software to ensure that the end-to-end service is both cost-efficient and highly performant. A number of high profile outages at the height of the 2004 holiday shopping season can be traced back to scaling relational database technologies beyond their capabilities.

in 2004, so I have to think back to that time to understand it. to answer, an answer that directs further tuning: whether you need to separate applications on different disks, or tune one application's disk workload. ## Why did this take so long? Thanks to everyone who worked on these, and all the other technologies that we use.
