The Five-Minute Rule for the Cloud: Caching in Analytics Systems
Summary: Adaptation of Gray & Putzolu's five-minute rule to cloud object caches for disaggregated analytics, introducing a usage-based cost model that accounts for dynamic cloud pricing and cache/storage tradeoffs. Derives simple break-even thresholds (≈2 requests/hour for latency-sensitive workloads, ≈7 requests/second for non-latency-sensitive), validated on AWS and explaining pervasive cache use in cloud analytics.
