Key features of RabbitMQ, such as message acknowledgments, complex routing, and asynchronous processing, contribute to system reliability and performance. By decoupling applications, message queues enable them to operate independently and asynchronously, which is crucial for maintaining efficiency and flexibility in complex systems.

DynamoDB has come a long way in the 5 years since we announced its availability in January 2012. Based on this experience and learning, we built DynamoDB to be a fast, highly scalable NoSQL database to meet the needs of Internet-scale applications. DynamoDB was the first service at AWS to use SSD storage.

Each major expansion in software development - automation (60s), productivity (80s), internet (90s), mobile (00s) - has been additive to the total stock of software in the world. The horrific explosion of the oil tank train that devastated Lac-Mégantic in 2012 was in no small part the result of demand exceeding supply.

In a steady-state process (not allocating excessively) on a system with sufficient memory (this system had 64 GiB of RAM and roughly 47 GiB of that was available) the number of page faults should be close to zero, and this was a long way from that. Every second the system process wakes up and runs KeBalanceSetManager.

This choice also inspired me to call my project Swift Papers.
