I used to love doing experiments like this. I was afforded that luxury as a tech lead back when I was at Cisco setting up Kubernetes on bare metal and getting to play with setting up GlusterFS and Ceph just to learn and see which was better. This was back in 2017/2018 if I recall. Good ole days. Loved this writeup!

I had to run a bunch of benchmarks to compare speeds of not just AWS instance types, but actual individual instances in each type, as some NVME SSDs have been more used than others in order to lube up some Aerospike response times. Crazy.
Ad-tech, or?
Yeah. Serving profiles for customized ad selection.
A Heketi man! I had the same experience around the same years, what a blast. Everything was so new..and broken!
Same here, still remember that time our Heketi DB partially corrupted and we had to fix it up by exporting it to a massive json file, fix it up by looking at the Gluster state and importing it again. I can't quite remember the details but I think it had to do with Gluster snapshots being out of sync with the state in the DB.
