photo by Adrian I gave a talk at Monitorama in Portland Oregon in June, which set out the idea that carbon is just another metric to monitor, and that in a few years most of the monitoring and performance tuning tools are going to be reporting and optimizing for carbon alongside latency, throughput, availability and cost.

A Cassandra database cluster had switched to Ubuntu and noticed write latency increased by over 30%. The change was obvious in the production graphs, showing a drop in write latencies: Once tested more broadly, it showed the write latencies dropped by 43%, delivering slightly better performance than on CentOS.

A brief history of IPC at Netflix Netflix was early to the cloud, particularly for large-scale companies: we began the migration in 2008, and by 2010, Netflix streaming was fully run on AWS. In 2010, however, nearly none of it existed: the CNCF wasn’t formed until 2015! It’s been a great experience working with you all on this.

There are services at Netflix that use RDBMS kind of databases such as MySQL or PostgreSQL via AWS RDS. Passive instances across regions are also possible, though it is recommended to operate in the same region as the database host in order to keep the change capture latencies low. The destination may be a datastore or an external API.
