This architecture shift greatly reduced the processing latency and increased system resiliency. From Reloaded to Cosmos Reloaded Starting in 2014, we developed and operated the video processing pipeline on our third-generation platform Reloaded. The microservice architecture provides strong decoupling between services.

In this configuration, the AMI and boot is paravirt (PV), the kernel is making hypercalls instead of privileged instructions, and the system is using paravirt network and storage drivers. It's all a bit confusing, and I wrote about this in 2014: [Xen Modes]. AWS called this [enhanced networking]. The AMI and boot are now HVM.

Thanks to progress in networks and browsers (but not devices), a more generous global budget cap has emerged for sites constructed the "modern" way: ~100KiB of HTML/CSS/fonts and ~300-350KiB of JS (compressed) is the new rule-of-thumb limit for at least the next year or two. Modern network performance and availability.
