The Art of Storage Performance Optimization
by noctarius·Feb 25, 2026·2 points·0 comments
AI Analysis
○Pass
Technical deep-dive on NVMe optimization, but this is a blog post, not a product.
Strengths
- •Rigorous queuing theory + multi-petabyte production validation adds credibility
- •21-minute read with structured sections (throughput/latency interdependencies, architecture profiling)
Weaknesses
- •Marketing content for simplyblock's paid product, not a standalone tool or open-source project
- •No runnable code, benchmark suite, or downloadable methodology—pure educational content
Category
Target Audience
Storage engineers, systems architects, infrastructure teams building high-performance storage
Post Description
Our CTO Michael Schmidt wrote about our performance optimization methodology at simplyblock.
It's an in-depth view onto the technology and technical decisions, as well as how and why running your own storage benchmarks are so important to really understand the performance of your specific workloads.

Quantitative analysis of Alphabet (GOOGL) financials
The project looks like a focused, data-first equity writeup: revenue trends, margins, valuation comps and explicit risk sections are exactly what a stock analyst wants. The landing page is very minimal (GitHub Pages static report) — promising if the models and source tables are included, but it would move from useful to go-to if it added interactive charts, downloadable CSVs or notebook links for reproducibility.
