<p>What about this:  Use SQLite.<p>Make it one SQLite file per user.  All the read/write are parallelized per user.   Backup db file would be smaller, easier.   Each service node can handle N users, less for heavy follow users.   Should be easier to scale horizontally the with user count by adding system nodes and Storage, networks, web handling process.</p>

<p>Remember need to scrape off bugs from windshield after each trip thru I5 ~10 years ago.   No need to do that anymore.....<p>On the other hand, in my back yard, I grow a lot veggi, strawberry with worm casting from kitchen scraps.    I do still lot of insects.  A lot of birds nested around my house.   Produce 10-15 young birds.    I found a very cool looking giant tomato worm a size of my biggest finger.  It ate half of (7 ft height ) tomato  plant in 2 days.<p>The Strawberry, cucumbers, other veggies  grow with worm casting taste SO much better than from anything store .</p>

<p>Yap,<p>Someone likely would just docker/vm to partition that 80 cores into micro-service handle httpd proxy and app, db backend.<p>Those app/VM can easily be converted to app running pi modules.<p>20 pi modules likely have much better DDR, SSD, Network bandwidth.   Probably scale from 2 pi to 200 pi as easily as typical vm setup - and it comes with GPUs for free for those need them.</p>

<p>One gdb trick I used:<p><pre><code>   Use simple gdb script,  break, print vals, cont, 
   This allows one to debug and app's internal states without rebuilding with printf enable. 
   Combine the above with automated regression test system, one to debug very hard problems that might take hours/days to repro.</code></pre></p>
