We moved I/O off application cores to dedicated cores to give
compute-heavy workloads more breathing room Modern high-throughput
systems often run on machines with many cores. At that scale, one
practical problem becomes increasingly visible: CPU time spent on
low-level I/O handling competes directly with CPU time needed for
application-level work. In this post, we explore how shifting more

Combine Mem0’s memory management with ScyllaDB’s persistence
features to deploy large-scale AI agents Scaling AI agents to
handle persistent memory for a large number of users (e.g. 500k+
DAU) introduces engineering bottlenecks. These complications
generally compound across two areas: how context is filtered for
the model and how that data is stored globally. Mem0 addresses
context efficiency…
