Your SSD is a cache. S3 is the real database.
That sounds wrong until you see the math:
• S3: $0.023/GB/month
• EBS gp3: $0.08/GB/month
• 3x replication on EBS: $0.24/GB/month
At 10TB, that's $230 vs $2,400/month.
The trick is making S3 feel like local disk. That's what disaggregated storage engines do — hot path stays fast, cold path stays cheap.
The future of databases isn't faster disks. It's smarter caching on infinite storage.
The next challenging question is how to build a latency-sensitive OLTP database based on S3.

In case you are freaking out over using some mysterious asynchronous messaging library for #TypeScript, don't worry. It will feel exactly like async/await because it is async/await, but with all the benefits of the #ActorModel.

This is what Ukraine's former nuclear shield looked like, which it gave up in exchange for security guarantees - for free, with nothing in return.
And now one of the "security guarantors" is waging a full-scale war against Ukraine, while the other is demanding that it hand over territory and natural resources in exchange for further "security guarantees".
Thank you america.
Thank you trump.
