Anyone else puzzled by the shaking migration animation? The original file has a 1920x1080 resolution. I wonder if it is related to the shaking. Good article nevertheless.
This is some tremendous effort as I see. I wonder how many people work on these evaluations.
It's interesting to see FB migrating so much over to Oracle. 2 weeks ago was FB use of GraalVM (from Oracle). And now this. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27782475
Oracle has a very complete and much cheaper cloud solution relative to AWS. I've begun migrating my own projects over to their cloud. The savings on egress costs alone pays dividends.

I wonder what order of magnitude of rows they deal with and how they optimize indices for querying that data.

My old-man brain still can't compute this statement: "MySQL, an open source database developed by Oracle" . I know this is now factually true, but late-90s me keeps looking over my shoulder and freaking out.
Earlier quoted context omitted.

Tying yourself to Oracle is quite a risky choice in my opinion. After having used their non cloud products 10 years ago, I wouldn't do any business with them. At all.
