MongoDB offers several storage engines that cater to various use cases. The default storage engine in earlier versions was MMAPv1, which utilized memory-mapped files and document-level locking. The newer, pluggable storage engine, WiredTiger, addresses this by using prefix compression, collection-level locking, and row-based storage.

The Netflix stack is more diverse than I was expecting, and is explained in detail in the [Netflix tech blog]: The production cloud is AWS EC2, Ubuntu Linux, Intel x86, mostly Java with some Node.js (and other languages), microservices, Cassandra (storage), EVCache (caching), Spinnaker (deployment), Titus (containers), Apache Spark (analytics), Atlas (..)

now has a version which will support parallelism for SELECT queries (utilizing the read capacity of storage nodes underneath the Aurora cluster). Aurora Parallel Query response time (for queries which can not use indexes) can be 5x-10x better compared to the non-parallel fully cached operations. AWS Aurora (based on MySQL 5.6)

The HBO sitcom Silicon Valley hilariously followed Pied Piper, a team of developers with startup dreams to create a compression algorithm so powerful that high-quality streaming and file storage concerns would become a thing of the past. In 2015, Google published a blog post announcing Brotli and released its source code on GitHub.

A then-representative $200USD device had 4-8 slow (in-order, low-cache) cores, ~2GiB of RAM, and relatively slow MLC NAND flash storage. The fastest Androids predictably remain 18-24 months behind, owing to cheapskate choices about cache sizing by Qualcomm, Samsung Semi, and all the rest. The Moto G4 , for example.
