This is an ongoing trend that comes with connected devices and IoT: more
and more event flow and data stream processing to be done.
more cpu cores and clustering needed to do the job.
Given that arm are cheap, I would say Online labs is a smart move.
Even your phone have several cores now and may be the next home computer
tomorrow, just plugging a keyboard, mouse and screen.
Or connecting 2 or more phones will give you a new kind of cluster for
data processing.
Also interesting to note that event streaming is coming to systems
primarily designed for storage like databases : sql server 2014 do not
rewrite rows for memory optimized tables, but instead append a new row
and changes the pointer to that row in the memory header.
Very interesting pointer, thank you Sven.

Thank you Sven.
I didn't know about this alternative. I guess it's worth using it if
your horizontal scale is relevant, or if there is a particular set of
use cases (high I/O, low cpu?).
Regards!
