System Design · Choosing a datastore: query shapes

The right book for the job

The same fourteen questions arrive whichever store you picked. Which of them does your store answer, and what does it charge?

A single product asks fourteen ordinary questions a day, and the tabs swap which store has to answer them. Each one comes back cheap, costly, or sent off elsewhere. Watch the bill in machines move while the questions themselves never change.
