Welcome, my name is Harish Mallipeddi. I work for Amazon Web Services (AWS). This blog is mostly a dump of interesting articles that I come across on the web. Topics span across multiple areas including algorithms/datastructures, NoSQL stores, database internals, web-scale challenges, and functional languages.
