Processing and indexing the web is no small task. Heterogenous content, varying update frequency, compounding derived artifacts, sheer volume. I wrote about our internal data framework exa-d that handles this scaled complexity: exa-d organizes data as typed columns with explicit dependencies. Missing or stale columns signal what needs computation, the system computes only what is necessary and converges deterministically on correct state.
