When I see these kinda posts, I always wonder,
- just how many 8GB ram servers do you actually think youtube runs?
- how many petabytes of capacity do they actually have?
- if your revenue from advertising is more or less going to be between a ballpark range, how do you manage ever increasing storage costs?
Why 8GB?
just took it as an example
