Marc Brooker (AWS Distinguished Eng): "The downside of caches, especially in distributed systems, is they have this mode, where the cache is empty or contains the wrong data. The system is slow, often down, because now the backend isn't scaled to deal with all of this uncached traffic. Customers are very disappointed and often it is down in a stable way. Like it's still it's down, but it's not going to come back up under its own energy. Because, for example, all of this traffic is causing a huge amount of contention in my database or is saturating the network and so I can't even refill the cache. It's not even getting the right kind of data in In general, I prefer to see the teams around me avoiding caching where possible." @MarcJBrooker

Mike Stonebraker is a Turing award winner famous for his fundamental contributions to databases (e.g. Postgres, C-Store and much more). I interviewed him recently about: • The story behind Postgres & the hardest technical challenge in building it • Where he disagreed with Google's technical decisions • Future problems in databases • Literature recommendations to learn databases • Why LLMs score 0% on his text-SQL benchmark • What if you replaced all state in an OS with a DB Timestamps: 0:00 - Intro 1:03 - How he got into databases 6:43 - Competing with Oracle 9:07 - What made Postgres special 15:55 - One size fits none 21:37 - Why he disagreed with Google 29:14 - Why he chose academia over big tech 30:58 - Replacing state in an OS with a DB 42:02 - Future problems in databases 51:36 - Technical book recommendations to learn databases 52:20 - Advice for younger self 55:52 - Outro Where to watch: • YouTube: youtu.be/YPObBOwIrHk • Spotify: open.spotify.com/episode/1zx… • Apple Podcasts: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcas… • Transcript: developing.dev/p/turing-awar…
