Our solution to infrastructure/performance problems which dates back a fair way is to simply throw more hardware at problems.

Lately we are starting to hit a limit - a power limit. We are actually limited in the data center we use not by space, but by our power consumption, so we now have a pseudo KPI of "reduce our power usage". It's a good goal, but certainly not one I had ever contemplated.

A (future) stumbling block is our reliance on x86. Would love to be able to move to ARM =\
