This article is such a treat.
This is a dev post classified by Jev as Hosting & infra (a free resource), kept by the Dev Radar because it carries real work, not commentary.
This article is such a treat. 1) A reminder that at scale, even "tiny" optimizations make a huge difference. The few optimizations made here saved them literally millions of $ of RAM. 2) So many fun little CS and math things. Consistent hashing. Birthday paradox Storing struct fields as a byte array. Stats! Side note: shocker I read an entire article with 0 mentions of "database".
