#MySQL #InnoDB Change innodb transaction system to support SCN, and we can belefit from it:
1. remove rw_trx_list ,rw_trx_ids, serialisation_list
2. everything is put in trx_sys_t::shards so mutex contention is gone

Peter DeSantis' Monday Night Live has been an #AWSreInvent conference favorite for a while. His deep dive into our @awscloud engineering is a great way to start this week of learning.

I enjoyed sharing my personal keynote notes last year and I’ll continue doing the same this week—here’s what stood out to me from Peter’s talk:

Everyone loves @PostgreSQL these days. But there is a part of Postgres' architecture from the 1980s that causes many performance + storage issues for people. So @BohanZhangOT and I wrote a new @OtterTuneAI blog article about why it is and why it sucks: https://t.co/39WgGZoFZU

@heyshrutimishra Guide please

[Werner Vogels @Werner]

A fantastic retrospective from #AWS Sr. Principal Engineer @molson, who's been at the heart of scaling #EBS for over a decade. Marc shares hard-won lessons on driving continuous performance improvements - a must-read for cloud infrastructure nerds.

It took three years to finish, but our follow-up to the 2006 "What Goes Around Comes Around" is finally out! Stonebraker and I examine the last 20 years in databases and discuss why relational databases + SQL will continue to remain on top.

What are the most influential database papers of all time? Everyone has an opinion, but here's some data!

I ran PageRank on the VLDB/SIGMOD/CIDR citation graph. Search for a paper, view a specific year, or look up an author's most "influential" papers.

Easily the best paper on current State of LLMs! 🙏

A 50 page read but it’s not “just another” survey paper, that only documents facts. The authors actually add very useful commentary capturing all aspects of building Large Language Models.

Hence the result is a collection of ideas we might have missed across months of research.

It covers both building LLMs and effectively applying them to domains, with a focus on current limitations and “sharp edges”

As always, I think great content makes you discover missing bits in your knowledge, for this reason it’s a solid cover to cover read recommendation:
