I have been wondering if the memory scarcity would lead to a desire to optimize software to be more efficient.

Curious what the R&D / efficiency development ROI is on reducing memory footprint. I suppose we should both consider current ROI and near future ROI (as the price of memory will likely stay high for at least another 1-2 years).

Cloudflare doesn't get enough credit for their series of overall great technical blog posts.

Isn't 700 changes a second like... really low, considering their scale and amount of domains they manage ?

I'm very curious about the bugs (before vs. after relational) that come from an improvement like this over time

I used to use cloudflare dns, but the same cloudflare harassed me the entire day testing if I'm a robot. The harassment ended after I switched the dns server. See you never again, clouflare
