We are being extremely kind to LLMs when we say it hallucinated. It is a straight up lie. Humans would have their reputations tarnished if they did the same thing!

Decouple compute from storage, use leader election for storage. This seems to be the trend. PACELC, the price is a little latency, but this will improve.
The MemoryDB paper shows the power of separating responsibilities through clever composition. I think this DB frontend/execution plus a distributed transaction log pattern can be promising for creating serverless variants of many popular databases. E.g., Aurora adopts a similar decoupling approach.

Distributed systems will fail. While handling an outage is straightforward, subtle failures like partitions, livelocks, deadlocks, etc. require deeper understanding. Reliability and availability under partial failures demands a deeper understanding of *all* failure modes. From obvious to insidious.

Amazon S3 just grew "append"! It's only available for the more expensive, lower latency S3 Express One Zone bucket class but you can now append data to an object up to 10,000 times - previously you could only atomically replace a whole object with an updated version simonwillison.net/2024/Nov/22/...
Amazon S3 Express One Zone now supports the ability to append data to an object
This is a first for Amazon S3: it is now possible to append data to an existing object in a bucket, where previously the only supported operation was to atomically …
