So, we relied on higher-level metrics-based testing: AB Testing and Sticky Canaries. To determine customer impact, we could compare various metrics such as error rates, latencies, and time to render.

By collecting and analyzing key performance metrics of the service over time, we can assess the impact of the new changes and determine if they meet the availability, latency, and performance requirements. The results are then evaluated using specific metrics to determine whether the hypothesis is valid.

Before you begin tuning your website or application, you must first figure out which metrics matter most to your users and establish some achievable benchmarks. Quantitative performance testing looks at metrics like response time while qualitative testing is concerned with scalability, stability, and interoperability.

Every time the trigger executes, the function runs on an available resource. When an application is triggered, it can cause latency as the application starts. Serverless vendors make resources available exactly when you need them. This creates latency when they need to restart. Monitoring serverless applications.

Because we are dealing with network protocols here, we will mainly look at network aspects, of which two are most important: latency and bandwidth. Latency can be roughly defined as the time it takes to send a packet from point A (say, the client) to point B (the server). Two-way latency is often called round-trip time (RTT).

Many of these systems support I/O ordering with a stable media cache and subsequently combine and/or split I/O requests across available subsystem resources to complete the storing to physical media.
