Not everybody agreed that the "N-ary Storage Model" (NSM) was the best approach for all workloads but it stayed dominant until hardware constraints, especially on caches, forced the community to revisit some of the alternatives. The first practical modern implementation is probably C-Store by Stonebraker, et al.

CloudFront makes a simple choice here as it offers direct integration with all these services to let you cache responses across its global edge locations. For example, Akamai introduced ASI in 2005, which became the standard for building new websites. Akamai tried to convince many users to use this new framework.

Electricity used by servers doubled between 2000 and 2005 (and has continued growing ever since) from 12 billion to 23 billion kilowatt hours. Without effective caching on the client, the server will see an increase in workload, more CPU usage and ultimately increased latency for the end user. Show me the money!

Obviously, you don’t need to make your website look like it’s from 2005. Using a CDN like Cloudflare is a great way to cache your static assets and serve them to your users via the shortest path possible. Instead, consistently focus on what your users are there to see. Is it information, a product, or extra frills?

CloudFront makes a simple choice here as it offers direct integration with all these services to let you cache responses across its global edge locations. But since they don't rely much on dynamic content, but rely more upon static content that can be cached at the edge. Akamai tried to convince many users to use this new framework.

Device level flushing may have an impact on your I/O caching, read ahead or other behaviors of the storage system. FILE_FLAG_NO_BUFFERING is the Win32, CreateFile API flags and attributes setting to bypass file system cache.

The presentation discusses a family of simple performance models that I developed over the last 20 years — originally in support of processor and system design at SGI (1996-1999), IBM (1999-2005), and AMD (2006-2008), but more recently in support of system procurements at The Texas Advanced Computing Center (TACC) (2009-present).

I founded Instant Domain Search in 2005 and kept it as a side-hustle while I worked on a Y Combinator company (Snipshot, W06), before working as a software engineer at Facebook. Lighthouse also caught a cache misconfiguration that prevented some of our static assets from being served from our CDN. We still have a lot of work to do!

Its caching capabilities will play a big part in this and will determine how easy it is to scale your application.

I have regenerated all pages since 2005, the pages before that can be found in the "/historical" section. My templates and blog posts are now located in DropBox and thus locally cached at each machine I use.

“SQL Server 2016 running on the same hardware as SQL Server 2014, 2012, 2008, 2008 R2 or 2005 uses fewer resources and executes a wide range of workloads faster. The following table is taken from an ASP.NET, session state cache, stress test. ” – Bob Dorr, Principle Engineer SQL Server Support. .”
