#12But is /dev/null web scale?
Yes, /dev/null can even power sites like zombo.com

What’s the I/O throughput of /dev/null ?
Single client, I'm getting ~5GB/s, both on an 8-year-old intel server, and on my M1 ARM chip.
However with a single server, it doesn't perfectly linearly scale with multiple clients. I'm getting
1 client: 5GB/s
2 clients: 8GB/s
3 client: 8.7GB/s
Re: /dev/null is an ACID compliant database
#16Always instantly consistent, always available, and perfectly tolerant of partitioning. Truly, it is the only database which can be scaled to unlimited nodes and remain fully CAP.
Always available? Clearly you have not experienced situations with no /dev mounted.

I guess we have a perfect idea for vaporware here. (pun intended) I am putting my marketing hat on right now.
Reminds me of Falso.

One easy way to create such a situation is to use bwrap without --dev.

I'm easily reaching 30GB/s with a single client:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/null bs=1M status=progress
