Therandom_page_costwas introduced ~25 years ago, and its default value has remained at 4.0 since then. Recent experiments suggest that the actual cost of reading a random page may be significantly higher than the default value, especially on SSDs. Lowering therandom_page_costmay not always be the be.. read more  

The guide mapsteam size,workload shape, andtime-to-valueto three tiers:managed platforms,VMs, andKubernetes. It calls outKubernetesbluntly: expect a 1–3 month delay to production. Expect ongoing consumption of 30–50% of one engineer. It only pays off for multi-region setups, complex networking, or t.. read more
