By Michelle Brenner Netflix is poised to become the world’s most prolific producer of visual effects and original animated content. To meet that demand, we need to attract the world’s best artistic talent.

According to the 2020 DevOps Pulse survey of more than a thousand DevOps practitioners from mostly mid-to-large sized development and IT Ops shops, 56% of respondents store more than half their infrastructure in the cloud, while 42% store 75%

This is the third part in a series about solutions to the number series generator challenge. In Part 1 I covered solutions that generate the rows on the fly. In Part 2 I covered solutions that query a physical base table that you prepopulate with rows. This month I’m going to focus on a fascinating technique that can be used to handle our challenge, but that also has interesting applications well beyond it.

Rack-aware deployment ensures that no replica is stored redundantly inside a singular rack (a group of cluster nodes) so that replicas are spread around through racks. In case one rack goes down, the other two full replicas are available, ensuring data consistency and availability.

Robotic Process Automation and Test Automation are two confusing terms in testing processes. Similar to TDD and BDD processes, RPA and test automation seem like a single branch of the test segment which is common to be exchanged in communication during planning. The word “automation” seems to be a culprit in this case. When both the terms end with automation and someone knows any one of them, it is not hard to presume another one based on primitive knowledge.

SQL Server 2014 SP2 and later produce runtime (“actual”) execution plans that can include elapsed time and CPU usage for each execution plan operator (see KB3170113 and this blog post by Pedro Lopes). Interpreting these numbers is not always as straightforward as one might expect. There are important differences between row mode and batch mode execution, as well as tricky issues with row mode parallelism.
