The new region will give Hong Kong-based businesses, government organizations, non-profits, and global companies with customers in Hong Kong, the ability to leverage AWS technologies from data centers in Hong Kong. This enables customers to serve content to their end users with low latency, giving them the best application experience.

I started writing “ Serverless Architectures ” in May 2016. I also rewrote the section on Startup Latency since Cold Starts are one of the big “FUD” areas of Serverless. I was glad to be able to talk about Amazon’s automated traffic shifting / canary releases. I thought a few folks might be interested.

They can run applications in Sweden, serve end users across the Nordics with lower latency, and leverage advanced technologies such as containers, serverless computing, and more. Vivino has brought AI technology to the world of wine and is all-in on AWS. We launched Edge Network locations in Denmark, Finland, Norway, and Sweden.

With Tel Aviv being the technology capital of Israel, it's the ideal edge server location. The image below shows a significant drop in latency once we've launched the new point of presence in Israel. In fact, latency has been reduced by almost 50%! So far, traffic from Nigeria has been routed to Europe.

This is a complex topic, but to borrow from a recent post , web performance expands access to information and services by reducing latency and variance across interactions in a session, with a particular focus on the tail of the distribution (P75+). Consistent performance matters just as much as low average latency.

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.

LTS (April 2016). I wrote about it in a previous post, [DTrace for Linux 2016]. Here's some output from my zfsdist tool, in bcc/BPF, which measures ZFS latency as a histogram on Linux: # zfsdist. Tracing ZFS operation latency. The hardest part on Linux is now done: kernel support. Hit Ctrl-C to end. ^C
