Shared nothing parallel programming - O'Reilly Radar

Shared nothing parallel programming - O'Reilly Radar: "Our small database footprint project had the goal of externalizing as much computation off the database engine - pushing this processing into share nothing parallelizable pipelines. So we also did such things as externalized serialization (no more using the database engine to dole out unique record ID’s) and eliminated virtually all stored procedure and triggers - placed more computational weight on these 'n' wide pipeline processes instead"
