This architecture shift greatly reduced the processing latency and increased system resiliency. We expanded pipeline support to serve our studio/content-development use cases, which had different latency and resiliency requirements as compared to the traditional streaming use case. divide the input video into small chunks 2.

If, however, there wasn’t a new file on the server, we’ll bring back a 304 header, no new file, but an entire roundtrip of latency. We can completely cut out the overhead of a roundtrip of latency. On high latency connections, this saving could be tangible. Steve Souders , 2014. Caching – 2014. Decorative Image.

This architecture affords Amazon ECS high availability, low latency, and high throughput because the data store is never pessimistically locked. As you can see, the latency remains relatively jitter-free despite large fluctuations in the cluster size. latency and stability) with Empire as well as security benefits.

When I joined Netflix in April 2014, we had over 40 million subscribers in 41 countries. We're on the EC2 cloud, which has great scalability, and our own cloud architecture of microservices is also designed for scalability. A latency outlier issue that happened every 15 minutes. That'd make a great story, but it didn't happen.

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. This is part 2 of our look at Allspaw’s 2015 master thesis (here’s part 1 ).

SQL Server According to Bob

SEPTEMBER 26, 2016

As we moved towards SQL Server 2014, the pace of hardware accelerated. Our customers who deployed Availability Groups were now using servers for primary and secondary replicas with 12+ core sockets and flash storage SSD arrays providing microsecond to low millisecond latencies. Now disk I/O and CPU capacity were no longer an issue.

Devices and networks have evolved too: Alex Russell @slightlylate An update on mobile CPUs and the Performance Inequality Gap: Mid-tier Android devices (~$300) now get the single-core performance of a 2014 iPhone and the multi-core perf of a 2015 iPhone. mid-priced Androids were slightly faster than 2014's iPhone 6.

The older Intel Xeon E5-26xx v3 (Haswell) series which was introduced in Q3 of 2014, had a maximum memory bandwidth of 2133MHz. They feature low latency, local NVMe storage that can directly leverage the 128 PCIe 3.0 On the other hand, Azure VM CPU and storage performance has come a long way since I wrote about it back in 2014 !

Using CDN for the whole website, you can offload most of the website traffic to your CDN which will handle not only large traffic spikes but also reduce the latency of content delivery. They often get blindsided by vendor’s pitch and end-up making decision based on some fancy demos (see my post from 2014 on Adobe AEM ).
