Just documenting docs, articles, and discussion related to gRPC and load balancing.

https://github.com/grpc/grpc/blob/master/doc/load-balancing.md

Seems gRPC prefers thin client-side load balancing where a client gets a list of connected clients and a load balancing policy from a "load balancer" and then performs client-side load balancing based on the information. However, this could be useful for traditional load banaling approaches in clound deployments.

gRPC "works" in AWS. That is, you can run gRPC services on EC2 nodes and have them connect to other nodes, and everything is fine. If you are using AWS for easy access to hardware then all is fine. What doesn't work is ELB (aka CLB), and ALBs. Neither of these support HTTP/2 (h2c) in a way that gRPC needs.

All Your Data Does Not Belong In a Database

Businesses are machines producing mountains of data about sales, usage, customer, costs, etc... Traditionally data processing is highly centralised with teams of staff and computer running hot a whirling ready to process. We can do better than moving the mountain of data into the corporate data machine - so long as that machinary is light enough to be moved to the data.

Don't move the mountain - Bring the processing to the data

We've had this problem; a huge directory of files in CSV format, conataining vital information for our business. But it's in CSV, requires analysis, and don't you don't feel like learning sed/grep/awk today - besides it's 2017 and no-one thinks those tools are easy to use.
