Zero Configuration Service Mesh with On-Demand Cluster Discovery

The Netflix TechBlog

Today we have a wealth of tools, both OSS and commercial, all designed for cloud-native environments. To improve availability, we designed systems where components could fail separately and avoid single points of failure. There is a downside to fetching this data on-demand: this adds latency to the first request to a cluster.

USENIX SREcon APAC 2022: Computing Performance: What's on the Horizon

Brendan Gregg

My personal opinion is that I don't see a widespread need for more capacity given horizontal scaling and servers that can already exceed 1 Tbyte of DRAM; bandwidth is also helpful, but I'd be concerned about the increased latency for adding a hop to more memory. Ford, et al., “TCP

SQL Server 2016 – It Just Runs Faster: Always On Availability Groups Turbocharged

SQL Server According to Bob

When we released Always On Availability Groups in SQL Server 2012 as a new and powerful way to achieve high availability, hardware environments included NUMA machines with low-end multi-core processors and SATA and SAN drives for storage (some SSDs). As we moved towards SQL Server 2014, the pace of hardware accelerated.
