The limitations of a typical, traditional relational database management system (RDBMS) have forced all sorts of compromises on data processing systems: from limitations on database size, to the separation of transaction processing from analytics. One such compromise has been the “sharding” of various customer accounts into separate database instances, partly so each customer could fit on a single computer server – but, in a typical power law, or Zipf, distribution, the larger database don’t fit. In response, database administrators have had to implement semi-custom sharding schemes. Here, we describe these schemes, discuss their limitations, ... Read More

Feed: Recent Announcements. With improvements to “Single-Pass HQ” and “Multi-Pass HQ” using AVC (Advanced Video Coding), better video quality (VQ) can be achieved compared to previous outputs without increasing the peak bitrate, or the same VQ can be achieved with a lower peak bitrate. Greater compression efficiency reduces storage and delivery costs, and improved VQ increases viewer satisfaction. Accelerated Transcoding has two new features. First is the ability to frame capture JPEG files for jobs with Accelerated Transcoding enabled, generating thumbnails for video outputs that can be used for metadata or other purposes with the benefit of faster turnaround times ...
