Non-trivial tips for database development

It’s a generic problem that the user can configure at several different levels. Do they want a collider? Do they want to respond to collisions? Do they want to simulate dynamics? They could want dynamics, but not gravity. It’s a problem that calls for good planning and robust design.
Stackoverflow tech stack is very standarize, and they always try to scale vertically, as in just using a single big database instead of sharding into multiple servers. They have amazing performance given their huge traffic. In this post, Taryn shares the journey of migrating their traffic log data.
If you use Stackoverflow, and enjoy their approach to lean and simple engineering, then why not see how their performance looks like
Envoy is a new load balancer by Lyft, design for dynamic environment. You can change its configuration without the need of generating static config file and trigger a reload like Nginx. For performance, at scale Envoy is a bit better.
