Well, you know, until recently, 'my data fits in RAM' just didn't happen at a scale worth optimizing for.


Sure, but that itself is interesting: context around data systems is changing so fast that even the mature ones have to innovate pretty quickly to keep up. (Or maybe especially the mature ones?)

I wonder how long before postgres includes an index type optimized for in-memory workloads, e.g. a skiplist.
