Yet, we wanted to put together our list of the top web performance books for anyone who cares about speed of the web and would like to explore the timeline of web performance engineering milestones over nearly two decades through the lens of published books. Information Architecture. Site speed & SEO go hand in hand.

This was a keynote presentation at the “2nd International Workshop on Performance Modeling: Methods and Applications” (PMMA16), June 23, 2016, Frankfurt, Germany (in conjunction with ISC16 ). This includes all architectures, all compilers, all operating systems, and all system configurations.

Some of the built-in features ( wal_compression ) have been there since 2016, and almost all backup tools do the WAL compression before taking it to the backup repository. Attempts to compress PostgreSQL WAL at different levels have always been around since the beginning. But this comes with a considerable performance implication.

SEPTEMBER 26, 2016

Performance issues surrounding Availability Groups typically were related to disk I/O or network speeds. We needed to start thinking about how fast can we replicate to a synchronous secondary replica in terms of % of the speed of a standalone workload. First, we looked at the overall architecture of the replica design.

Back in 2016, I gave a talk outlining the causes and effects of the terrible performance of web apps built using popular tools on the fastest-growing device segment: low-end to mid-range Android phones. In 2016, Jio swept over the subcontinent like a monsoon dropping a torrent of 4G infrastructure and free data rather than rain.

From 2007 until 2016, Intel was able to successfully execute their Tick-Tock release strategy, where they would introduce a new processor microarchitecture roughly every two years (a Tock release). Intel has been stuck at 14nm in the server space since the Broadwell release in Q4 of 2016. So, what has changed my mind?
