Hardware is Changing

Lots of Tech being Invented
Libraries / Frameworks
Actor model
Transactions
Concurrency Patterns
Languages
Immutable data
Under-specification -> Functional
Runtimes
Automatically figure out number of threads
Asymmetric CPU configurations

Datacenters are changing
No more big-scale datacenter
Several small data-centers
No power backup required, no servicing required
Datacenter in a Container
Far more space, heat and power efficient
No installation, deployment cost
Connect to power, chilled water and network
Failure tolerant
Expect failure, don’t replace faulty units
Ok for a datacenter to go down
Load old container on a truck, fly over new one!
Dominant Trend
Both Google and Microsoft are going this route!
