I began writing this article in early July 2023 but began to feel a little underwhelmed by it and so left it unfinished. However, after recent and renewed discussions around the relevance and usefulness of build steps, I decided to dust it off and get it finished. Let’s go!

When creating applications that store and analyze large amounts of data, such as time series, log data, or event-storing ones, developing a good and future-proof data model can be a difficult task. Determining the most appropriate data types to store the information depends on various factors, including the required precision of float-point values, the content of the values (such as text), compressibility, and query speed.

If you wanted to cache a file ‘forever’, you’d probably use a Cache-Control header like this: Cache-Control: max-age=31536000 This instructs any cache that it may store and reuse a response for one year (60 seconds × 60 minutes × 24 hours × 365 days = 31,536,000 seconds ). But why one year? Why not 10 years? Why not max-age=forever ? Why not max-age=∞ ?!
