So true! I have watched this twice now.

The one thing that still hangs me up is that you need some external process to ensure the integrity of your data. That.....feels wrong. What do you think?

You don't necessarily need external processes for that, although in many cases you will.

I dislike this as well, but this is a tradeoff if you want to operate at massive scale.

You're sacrificing processing time and integrity to speed up response times.
