Redis vs Memcached in 2024

Scalegrid

In this comparison of Redis vs Memcached, we strip away the complexity, focusing on each in-memory data store’s performance, scalability, and unique features. Snapshots provide point-in-time captures of the dataset, which are efficient for recovery on startup.

Migrating Critical Traffic At Scale with No Downtime?—?Part 2

The Netflix TechBlog

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. We can determine A/B test membership in either device application or backend code and selectively invoke new code paths and services.

Using Modern Image Formats: AVIF And WebP

Smashing Magazine

Users appreciate high-quality visuals, but care needs to be taken to deliver those hero images, product photos and cat memes as efficiently and effectively as possible. The efficiency of a codec can be mainly measured by how much compression it can achieve. See the Pen [Image format comparison 2]([link] by Addy Osmani.

Seamless offloading of web app computations from mobile device to edge clouds via HTML5 Web Worker migration

The Morning Paper

Edge servers are the middle ground – more compute power than a mobile device, but with latency of just a few ms. Wasm functions contain native codes compiled at runtime, so they should not be directly migrated as normal JavaScript objects. Why would we want to live migrate web workers? Is the migration worth it though?

Supercomputing Predictions: Custom CPUs, CXL3.0, and Petalith Architectures

Adrian Cockcroft

Here’s some predictions I’m making: Jack Dongarra’s efforts to highlight the low efficiency of the HPCG benchmark as an issue will influence the next generation of supercomputer architectures to optimize for sparse matrix computations. Jack Dongarra talked about the scores, and pointed out the low efficiency on some important workloads.

RPC vs. Messaging – which is faster?

Particular Software

Some will claim that any type of RPC communication ends up being faster (meaning it has lower latency) than any equivalent invocation using asynchronous messaging. It’s less of an apples-to-oranges comparison and more like apples-to-orange-sherbet. There are more steps, so the increased latency is easily explained.
