How does a company know
when they’ve hit the wall?
Q1:
5
?
What about throughput limits?
What’s different if you added more
workloads vs. bursty time-of-day
traffic?
6
Q2:
?
Even with the best up-front planning
you can run into a stochastic event
that can go beyond your predictive
planning? What then?
7
Q3:
?
Let’s define “emergency scalability”
as responding to unplanned demands
on your system. What examples have
you seen of “emergency scaling”
limits in the wild?
8
Q4:
?
What’s different doing “emergency
scaling” with an on-premises
deployment vs.
a public cloud?
9
Q5:
?
Is the cloud really just “someone
else’s computer?”
10
Q6:
?
Is data volume itself a barrier to
scale? “I want a petabyte of storage
fully loaded by 8 AM tomorrow!”
11
Q7:
?
What are other real-time limits you
can’t avoid? Like the latency of the
speed of light, or the raw time to
actually stream your data to the new
hardware?
12
Q8:
?
Can you talk more about latency
issues? You can’t just throw
hardware at it. Because that could
even make latencies worse.
13
Q9:
?
What advice can you give to
system architects planning for
data at scale?
14
Q10:
Poll
How much data do you under management of your
transactional database?
