Making 768 servers look like 1

https://planetscale.xyz/assets/making-768-servers-look-like-1-social-DXjwbEP8.png
To some, that looks like a lot of computers. To those managing the infrastructure for apps with millions of customers, executing millions of queries per second, pretty normal. Products at this scale frequently require thousands of servers working in unison. The most difficult infrastructure component to scale is almost always the database. A single database server cannot handle such demand, ...

Partly because it is a good song. It fits my style. But mostly because I currently have a mild, self-diagnosed case of AI psychosis, and therefore every piece of art I encounter eventually becomes about artificial intelligence. When I listen to a song I have a habit of imagining a fictional character singing it. I hear this one as a blues song sung by an existentially depressed large language ...
