Taiji: managing global user traffic for large-scale Internet services at the edge

The Morning Paper

Taiji: managing global user traffic for large-scale internet services at the edge Xu et al., It’s another networking paper to close out the week (and our coverage of SOSP’19), but whereas Snap looked at traffic routing within the datacenter, Taiji is concerned with routing traffic from the edge to a datacenter.

Implementing service-level objectives to improve software quality

Dynatrace

First, it helps to understand that applications and all the services and infrastructure that support them generate telemetry data based on traffic from real users. Latency is the time that it takes a request to be served. So how can teams start implementing SLOs? This telemetry data serves as the basis for establishing meaningful SLOs.

Stuff The Internet Says On Scalability For July 20th, 2018

High Scalability

A typical example of modern "microservices-inspired" Java application would function along these lines: Netflix : We observed during experimentation that RAM random read latencies were rarely higher than 1 microsecond whereas typical SSD random read speeds are between 100–500 microseconds. There are a few more quotes.

Rapid Event Notification System at Netflix

We thus assigned a priority to each use case and sharded event traffic by routing to priority-specific queues and the corresponding event processing clusters. This separation allows us to tune system configuration and scaling policies independently for different event priorities and traffic patterns.

A Decade of Dynamo: Powering the next wave of high-performance, internet-scale applications

All Things Distributed

The cloud-hosted version would need to be: Scalable – The service would need to support hundreds of thousands, or even millions of AWS customers, each supporting their own internet-scale applications. Today, DynamoDB powers the next wave of high-performance, internet-scale applications that would overburden traditional relational databases.

A lot of coverage on this project is centered (rightfully) around the potential of this project to deliver fast internet to underdeveloped nations at a minimal cost. Starlink’s Goal: Reduce Internet Latency. At a cost of 300 million dollars, this cable reduced the latency of this transatlantic journey down to 59.95
