       STOP SCALING UP- SOFTWARE SHOULD NOT SUPPOSED TO SCALE- YEARS OF SCALING yet NO REAL WORLD USE FOUND for going higher than YOUR FAMILY- Wanted to go higher anyway for a laugh? We had a tool for that: It was called "EVERYONE HAVING THEIR OWN SERVERS"- "Yes please give me 5 instances of Redis. Please cluster my databases in Kubernetes Docker Container Pods" - Statements dreamed up by the utterly deranged

       @admicos Also, don't underestimate how far a single PostgreSQL or SQLite instance can scale *if you're querying it efficiently*. Throwing 100 parallel servers at something doesn't do jack if your main algorithm is O(2^n).

       @tek @admicos this.There is still something I don't understand about the fact that we seem to consistently have needed expensive racks of servers for the same CRUD apps in the past 30 years, even while said servers were getting about a gazillion times faster
