I've been diving deep into databases lately and noticed that major vendors like Google Spanner and Snowflake often release research papers about their algorithms and the real-world impacts of their innovations. I'm curious about the cloud-native world—what kind of research is being done in cloud computing and distributed systems? It seems like many tools in this space come from practical needs for DevOps engineers, but I bet there's a lot of research fueling this innovation. Can anyone recommend key topics or foundational papers to explore? Also, what's the best way to find this kind of research?

Check out arXiv! It's filled with tons of research papers across various fields, including cloud computing and distributed systems. Just search for keywords related to what you’re interested in, and you’ll find some great resources.
You might also want to check out YouTube channels like Fireship. They cover a lot of relevant topics in a fun and digestible way that might lead you to some interesting research.
I used to host a Twitter space called 'Paper Club' where we'd discuss research papers like a book club! It was awesome, but I switched to a podcast and lost time for it. If there's enough interest, I might bring it back! You can check out some of our past papers here: https://github.com/rothgar/paperclub.
Yes! Please bring it back, it sounds like a fun way to engage with the material!
This is great! I’d definitely tune in if you revive it.
