They would love to migrate to an open-source style database like MySQL or PostgresSQL if only such a database could meet the enterprise-grade reliability and performance these high-scale applications required. That database engine is now known as Amazon Aurora and launched in 2014 for MySQL and in 2016 for PostgreSQL.

AWS Graviton2); for memory with the arrival of DDR5 and High Bandwidth Memory (HBM) on-processor; for storage including new uses for 3D Xpoint as a 3D NAND accelerator; for networking with the rise of QUIC and eXpress Data Path (XDP); and so on. I also wrote about these topics in detail for my recent [Systems Performance 2nd Edition] book.

At USENIX SREcon22 APAC I gave the opening keynote on the future of computer performance, rounding up the latest developments and making predictions of where I see things heading. This talk originated from my updates to Systems Performance 2nd Edition , and this was the first time I've given this talk in person! Ford, et al., “TCP

Some of the built-in features ( wal_compression ) have been there since 2016, and almost all backup tools do the WAL compression before taking it to the backup repository. In a system already on the brink of too much WAL generation, the uncompressed WAL can trigger many more checkpoints, resulting in even more WAL generation.

In 2016, I released the first version of the tool, then called not Statoscope, but Webpack Runtime Analyzer. It might not be completely efficient if we use modules in raw form, as they are in the file system: there might be some doubles, some modules could be combined, and others are only partially used.

Apple Corporate is at fault, not Open Source engineers or the line managers who support them. After 20 years of neck-in-neck competition, often starting from common code lineages, there just isn't that much left to wring out of the system. Chrome has missed several APIs for 3+ years: Storage Access API. Media Session API.
