A comment on Rob Pike's Rules of Programming (1989). Parent comment
My most recent team had our hottest dataset in dynamodb. Because cloud. So much effort to get our web service's P99 <50ms.
The whole dataset fit easily into RAM.
Thru (way too much) effort, I was able to introduce Redis. First shared. Then eventually one mini-instance per EC2, running alongside nginx & nodejs.
