[Links of the Day] 21/02/2019: Database Internals, Fosdem 2019 Videos, Cloud Programming Simplified

• Database Internals ; excellent series delving into the internal mechanism and algorithm of modern and not so modern database systems.
• Fosdem 2019 Videos: Fosdem 2019 conference video start to filter through on the interweb
• Cloud Programming Simplified: A Berkeley View on Serverless Computing paper which gives a quick history of cloud computing, including an accounting of the predictions of the 2009 Berkeley View of Cloud Computing paper, explains the motivation for serverless computing, describes applications that stretch the current limits of serverless, and then lists obstacles and research opportunities required for serverless computing to fulfil its full potential.

[Links of the day] 02/02/2016: Fosdem 2016

Fosdem 2016 just finished a couple of day ago, here are some selected bits:

• Data Replication Track : a lot of interest into clustering Mysql like DB this year: 
• Mysql Group Replication : Mysql native clustering with paxos protocol 
• Galera Replication demystified : While Galera does not provide snapshot isolation, it might still save your bacon
• Reliable Cluster Detection and Failover : how to reduce the hot switch time drastically
• Rearchitecting Linux I/O towards Petascale Storage : 
• RocksDB Storage Engine for MySQL : Facebook replace the underlying storage engine with a K/V DB
• Containers and Virtualization : some interesting use cases and thought on how to get the best of each worlds: Containerization of hypervisor and running opentsack service in containers
• From pets to cattle to flock of birds : lambda all the things 

Las but not least here are all the videos.
