We used this model effectively at Netflix when I was their cloud architect from 2010 through 2013. The layers of platforms start at the bottom with hardware choices such as which CPU architectures and vendors you want to use. There are three current underlying reasons for the platform engineering meme today.

In 2013, AWS launched the AWS Activate program to provide Nordic startups access to guidance and one-on-one time with AWS experts. Vivino also uses Auto Scaling to deal with the large seasonal fluctuations in traffic. Today, we add to that presence with an infrastructure Region in Stockholm with three Availability Zones.

By Werner Vogels on 07 March 2013 08:00 PM. Shazam needed to handle an enormous increase in traffic for the duration of the Super Bowl and used DynamoDB as part of their architecture. This allows us to tune both our hardware and our software to ensure that the end-to-end service is both cost-efficient and highly performant.

CrUX generates an overview of performance distributions over time, with traffic collected from Google Chrome users. But account for the different types and usage behaviors of your customers (which Tobias Baldauf called cadence and cohorts ), along with bot traffic and seasonality effects. You can create your own on Chrome UX Dashboard.

For Mac OS, we can use Network Link Conditioner , for Windows Windows Traffic Shaper , for Linux netem , and for FreeBSD dummynet. On the other hand, we have hardware constraints on memory and CPU due to JavaScript parsing times (we’ll talk about them in detail later). Lighthouse , a performance auditing tool integrated into DevTools.
