    • If we didn’t do this thing right now, what would happen?
      • Is it likely to happen?
      • How bad is it if it did?
      • Can we make it a little bit better without a complete fix?
      • Do we ship anyway with the limitation?
  • Systems Software in the Large: Companion post to above
  • No more disks: the architecture behind stateless compute in ClickHouse Cloud: Phases for moving away from ephemeral storage on db nodes to object storage (s3) for data + compute for retrieval
