Ok, time to liveblog another paper! This time I'm reading a paper from Google published in HOTOS '23:
Towards Modern Development of Cloud Applications by Sanjay Ghemawat, Robert Grandl, Srdjan Petrovic, Michael Whittaker Parveen Patel, Ivan Posva, and Amin Vahdat
In summary: a very cool paper, echoes a lot of what I've been thinking about over the past few years. There's definitely still a lot of problems to solve and work to be done, but I think this is moving in the right direction!
