To this end, having a solid caching strategy can make all the difference for your visitors. ?? How is your knowledge of caching and Cache-Control headers? That being said, more and more often in my work I see lots of opportunities being left on the table through unconsidered or even completely overlooked caching practices.

In a previous blog post, [An Unbelievable Demo], I talked about how something similar happened many years ago where old tracing tool versions were used without updates.

With two blog posts, we argue for more use of simple models beyond Amdahl’s Law. To this end, we present three simple models that we find useful like Amdahl’s Law, split here into two blog posts. How many buffers are needed to track pending requests as a function of needed bandwidth and expected latency? Answered in Part 2.).

With two blog posts, we argue for more use of simple models beyond Amdahl’s Law. Previously, Part 1 of these two blog posts provided our thesis that analytic models can complement measurement and simulations to give quick insight, show what is not possible, provide a double-check, and suggest future directions. and 1/S as ?.

Today we’ll be digging into the analysis of an incident that took place at Etsy on December 4th, 2014. 1:18pm a key observation was made that an API call to populate the homepage sidebar saw a huge jump in latency. The blog post was subsequently unpublished. The shop had been closed so no data was available.

Reads usually have apps waiting on them; writes may not (write-back caching). biolatency From [bcc], this eBPF tool shows a latency histogram of disk I/O. This is a 64-Gbyte memory system, and 48 Gbytes is in the page cache (the file system cache). This shows many cache misses, with a hit ratio varying between 6.5
