It's not that it does not scale but it does not scale out of the box.

DynamoDB is very expensive.

With AI I'm pretty sure SIMD will be easier to integrate when necessary.

Golang is faster and use way less memory than Java, never wonder why you never see Kubernetes controller / sidecar is Java?

As for Scala it's pretty much a dead language, no one work with it and it's impossible to find dev for it.

10 years ago I was moving Scala code back to regular Java.

Sorry but I don't buy it, any crash can be found and fix by one or more humans, if it was not it's either they're incompetent ( I doubt that ) or they did not beleive it was important enough to fix.

A crash is actually the easiest kind of problem to fix since you have a crash. It means stacktrace, core dump, kernel error etc..

You have a serious engineering problem if you're not able to find the source of a crash after years.

The main issue with SQLite is the very poor type system, after testing it for an app I was shocked.

I'd like to know what you base your statement on that the Raft implementations in etcd or CockroachDB are incorrect. Your original paper does not mention those implementations, so where does that claim come from?

They never said that.

The "world" runs on Kubernetes which is using Raft: https://pkg.go.dev/go.etcd.io/etcd/raft/v3

Are you saying that this implementation is wrong?

"This Raft library is stable and feature complete. As of 2016, it is the most widely used Raft library in production, serving tens of thousands clusters each day. It powers distributed systems such as etcd, Kubernetes, Docker Swarm, Cloud Foundry Diego, CockroachDB, TiDB, Project Calico, Flannel, Hyperledger and more."

One of the most popular distributed DB is Cockroach which is written in go and also uses Raft: https://github.com/cockroachdb/cockroach/tree/master/pkg/raf...

SQLite gets so much praise here but when you start using it, you realize quickly how bad it is, the type system is by default very limited and dangerous.

It's like comparing old php with a strongly typed language.

There is not even a date type...
