How does Google store all those emails?
Google stores emails on their servers in a distributed system that is designed to provide high availability, scalability, and reliability. Here are some key aspects of how Google stores emails:
1. Distributed storage: Google uses a distributed file system called Colossus to store emails. Colossus is designed to handle petabytes of data and provides high availability, scalability, and fault tolerance.
2. Redundancy: Google stores multiple copies of each email in different data centers to ensure that emails are not lost due to hardware failures or disasters.
