This is an ongoing trend that comes with connected devices and IoT: more and more event flow and data stream processing to be done. more cpu cores and clustering needed to do the job. Given that arm are cheap, I would say Online labs is a smart move. Even your phone have several cores now and may be the next home computer tomorrow, just plugging a keyboard, mouse and screen. Or connecting 2 or more phones will give you a new kind of cluster for data processing. Also interesting to note that event streaming is coming to systems primarily designed for storage like databases : sql server 2014 do not rewrite rows for memory optimized tables, but instead append a new row and changes the pointer to that row in the memory header. Very interesting pointer, thank you Sven. regards, Alain Le 14/11/2014 15:55, Esteban A. Maringolo a écrit :
Thank you Sven.
I didn't know about this alternative. I guess it's worth using it if your horizontal scale is relevant, or if there is a particular set of use cases (high I/O, low cpu?).
Regards!
