In this blog post, the author explores the future of cloud data services, specifically focusing on large-scale and multi-tenant architectures. They discuss the benefits of serving customers over large resource pools, such as simplicity, reliability, durability, scalability, and low price. The author is conducting a survey of real-world serverless, multi-tenant data architectures in various systems like OLTP databases, real-time OLAP, cloud data warehouses, and event streaming systems. They find a surprising amount of diversity among these systems and note that serverless multi-tenant systems are growing in number. The author plans to answer questions about the challenges faced by these systems, their motivations, and their solutions in future analysis posts.
