But isn't that fundamentally at odds with the central idea of disaggregation

> At a fundamental level, scaling compute in a database system requires disaggregation of storage and compute. If you stick storage and compute together, you end up needing to scale one to scale the other, which is either impossible or uneconomical.

So either you can get good perf by doing the work close to data, or get good scalability by separating compute and data. But I can't see how you can do both.
