canva basically ditched heavy database lookups by using amazon s3 and compact indexes to manage 100M sessions. it's wildly efficient, especially since they cut their cache memory footprint by 87.5%
which is insane for scale . wondering if anyone else is moving toward
edge-based indexing instead of relying on a central db?
