As a British millennial, I got it at school, I guess sometime in the 90s. Still have the scar

> It's not like there is a mirror datacenter just two blocks away

Isn't that exactly what Availability Zones are for? They're physically separate[0] datacenters and each one contains a copy of each S3 object (unless using the explicit single-zone options)

It's also straightforward (although not necessarily that cheap) to replicate S3 objects to another region

Not sure about heat pumps, but in the UK at least there are a couple of companies that specialise in residential water cooled AC, e.g [0]. They use the cold water intake to cool down the compressor which sits inside the property

From a marketing perspective it’s not (as far as I’ve seen) driven by eco credentials, but by not needing planning permission - external AC compressors are not automatically permitted in the UK.

Kysely is excellent! Another library that complements it is pgTyped[0]. It compiles .sql files into functions with strongly typed parameters and return values

Not sure if this is what you're getting at, but RabbitMQ is indeed pretty great at having thousands of queues, even on modest hardware, and can be used for per-tenant queues in this way.

It does have some drawbacks though: if you have thousands of mirrored or quorum queues, managing the cluster becomes more cumbersome - it can take a while to replace nodes (rebalancing thousands of queues around). Also, the management tools (the web UI especially) don't perform that well if you have 10,000s of queues and 100,000s of consumers
