HTML, CSS, images, and fonts can all be parsed and run at near wire speeds on low-end hardware, but JavaScript is at least three times more expensive, byte-for-byte. If you or your company are able to generate a credible worldwide latency estimate in the higher percentiles for next year's update, please get in touch.

In 2018, a widespread adaptation of Kubernetes for big data processing is anitcipated. Using default scheduler's node affinity feature you can ensure that certain pods only schedule on nodes with specialized hardware like GPU, memory-optimised, I/O optimised etc. Kubernetes has a massive community support and momentum behind it.

India became a 4G-centric market sometime in 2018. Hardware Past As Performance Prologue. Regardless, the overall story for hardware progress remains grim, particularly when we recall how long device replacement cycles are: Tap for a larger version. 5G looks set to continue a bumpy rollout for the next half-decade. Mind The Gap.

It simulates a link with a 400ms RTT and 400-600Kbps of throughput (plus latency variability and simulated packet loss). Simulated packet loss and variable latency, however, can make benchmarking extremely difficult and slow. Our baseline, then, should probably trade lower throughput/higher-latency for packet loss.

The new AWS EU (Stockholm) Region will have three Availability Zones and will be ready for customers to use in 2018. This enables customers to serve content to their end users with low latency, giving them the best application experience. Over the past decade, we have seen tremendous growth at AWS.

There are several emerging data trends that will define the future of ETL in 2018. In 2018, we anticipate that ETL will either lose relevance or the ETL process will disintegrate and be consumed by new data architectures. Leveraging the recent hardware advances. Common in-memory data interfaces. More details on this approach.

Estimated Input Latency tells us if we are hitting that threshold, and ideally, it should be below 50ms. On the other hand, we have hardware constraints on memory and CPU due to JavaScript parsing times (we’ll talk about them in detail later).

Because of that big servers and other memory systems need to have another kind of memory in the hierarchy.
