Replying to @JeffDean
@JeffDean @GCPcloud R.I.P. MapReduce. After having served us well since 2003, today we removed the remaining internal codebase for good. Of course, external users of MR on GCP will continue to be supported with our fully upstream compatible managed Hadoop platform, Dataproc.

Love this thread. During my time at Amazon, many years later, this work was still seen as one of the most impactful things the whole of Amazon enginnering had ever done and a key reason for the company’s early success.
If you're wondering what "P-four-nines" means, it's the latency at the 99.99th percentile, meaning only one in 10,000 requests has a worse latency. Why do we measure latency in percentiles?
A thread about how how it came to be at Amazon...
