    performance of native
      for each key in index:
        yield key from index
      so N index keys yielded from mongo*
    performance of live
      for each key in index_a:
        if partition(key) in range:
          yield key from index
      dont store a second index, so halve index use
      inverse linear scaling with partition count network bytes
        1 partition == native
        2 partitions == 2*native
        3 partitions == 3*native
      BUT internally, mongo was doing 2*, 3*, so now we are doing as much complexity but client side so adding network cost
      so what is cost of doing N on local vs remote?
        well, what is cost of 1 network hop vs cpu filtering? should be that ratio
          .4ms vs COST_OF_(HASHING_15_CHARS+GC+MOD)
            but all of this still would be done, just async and 99% unused

  rendered: Devised a MongoDB live indexing strategy, which supported both current and future use cases, and saved the computing and filling of a new 99% unused native database index.
- when: 2023
  what:
  - proposed AtlasQMP as bugfixed singleton, parallelized nomad, or lambda cost and speed and devcost and deliverytime
  - high availability; 2 instances of singleton with distributed lock as cheap and good enough path forward
  why:
  - pride-in-craft
  - scalability
  grade: b
  quantity:
  - spike into 3 alternative
  - review by team
  - final option cost $N% of pre-spike expectations, N% dev work, N% risk
  - https://docs.google.com/document/d/10lpn6c8hHRs2dGAm37sP0wKR5vbzJ4zbtY9zBDopTMU/edit
  - was 40k items per second, now 175k
  - would require qmp proxy to scale about as much as we would drop nomad BUT we gain lambda cost assuming never replay
  - so $600 per mo worldwide to $1200 per mo worldwide
  - 7k per year isnt very much with cheating
  - 2 dev weeks to revamp and clean up
  - lets say 4 dev weeks to get qmp team to scale up proxy, the incidents that wouldve caused, and assume kinesis to rest wouldve been trivial
  rendered: Optimized a Go application to increase consumption rate from Kafka by 340%, costing half the engineering effort of the proposed rewrite.

  what:
  - challenge; q2/q3 planning without knowing what medical leave teammate would do
  - 1. offboard what mattered that he was doing
  - 2. ask him repeatedly to offboard early and ask for updates how its going
  - 3. guess things he really wants and assume he wont be here for forseeable future even if he does return
  - coordinate with mathis on expectations upon his return

  what:
  - REMS vs Translations
  - Translatsions gets 500 rows from AE without translations and translates those
  - '* prone to eventual consistency, blocks, brand deprioritizing, random bugs'
  - REMS got a backlog so we told them first
  - '* and we bumped over and over for them to look'
  - '  * and it escalated to a snafu'
  - '* root cause was squishing taking 90% of our cpu on this backlog of repeat work so sync squishing expedited to full release'
  - REMS emit a bug to TS that missed edits, so Translatsions kept re-translating what REMS perceived to be no-ops

  - designed rems mom deleting parallel with atlas, proposed drs team fixes it and impacted team volume, got deferred indefinitely and solved the same problem yet again but for rems mom
