For as far as I've been following, RAM prices have been following a bowl curve like in the screenshot. Quite expensive when first introduced at the cutting edge, dropping while its mainstream, and rising again when manufacturing moves to the next technology, and production for the older technology drops.

And as you said, might drop again once it's so old that the old supplies (RAM rarely fails) far exceed the demand.

Indeed, that is what I recall as well, though it seems to me like this bowl curve is deeper, more abrupt and especially a bit early on the price rise side considering the number of DDR4 processors and boards still on the market and presumably still being manufactured. Maybe my memory is off on some or all of those points.

Released a fifth part of my Building an Enterprise Data Access Layer series: Composable Multi-Tenancy Filtering.

It's getting to an end slowly. I have just 2 more articles in this series to publish. After that the main goals have been achieved.
I do plan to do a few "extra" articles on top addressing some alternatives and other ideas that were not part of initial series goals.

EDIT:

And with the release of .NET 10, I've made my changes to the ULID library.
I was an early adopter of C# 14 in my project already. (LangVersion = preview)
