Database Architecture Evolution: Mammals Flourished long before Dinosaurs became Extinct

Summary: Trip report tracing DB-architecture evolution toward scalable, stable, simple, self-managing column stores from ARM to global clusters. Emphasizes hardware-conscious algorithms and self-management techniques for practical, maintainable column-store DBMS. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
