I use junk drawers, which scale to available drawers, after which you buy more storage or a larger house.

Personally, I farm to work out to the cloud.

I simply purchase whatever I need, have it delivered to an Amazon locker nearby, and then when I’m done with it I throw it out and order a new one.

The most frequently used ones are always at the locker and the least frequently used one is automatically returned for a refund. The cache miss is approximately two days.

It’s expensive, but you can’t beat the fact that it scales to a practically unlimited degree.

I call it “bowl-less” caching.

[darkteflon]

Man, it really seems like bowl-less is everywhere these days. This kind of thing is why I rage quit programming and went to live in a Vipassana retreat.

I heard this is extremely expensive for anything non-trivial. People are always like, scale, scale, scale. But 99% of people are not Walmart. KISS, YAGNI, premature optimisation something something.

[ggghhhfff]

I’ve heard about the bowl-less design pattern a few weeks ago, excited to hear that it pans out in real world scenarios!

"bowl-less" would never work in France. It translates in French to "pas de bol" which also means "bad luck".

[ARandomerDude]

Still better than bowel-less, a possible misspelling given the context.

[arcticbull]

Ah I see you’ve read our no-return policy

[ftio]

Ah yes, the old horizontal scaling technique.
