Today, I am excited to announce plans for Amazon Web Services (AWS) to bring an infrastructure Region to the Middle East! Based in Bahrain, this will be the first Region for AWS in the Middle East. This Region will consist of three Availability Zones at launch, and it will provide even lower latency to users across the Middle East.

If we had an ID for each streaming session then distributed tracing could easily reconstruct session failure by providing service topology, retry and error tags, and latency measurements for all service calls. Using simple lookup indices in Cassandra gives us the ability to maintain acceptable read latencies while doing heavy writes.

Expanding the AWS Cloud—An AWS Region is coming to South Africa! Today, I am excited to announce our plans to open a new AWS Region in South Africa! AWS is committed to South Africa's transformation. This news marks the 23rd AWS Region that we have announced globally. We have a long history in South Africa.

Gojko Adzic has done some great speaking and writing on his experience here, and I included the link to his talk from late 2017. I also rewrote the section on Startup Latency since Cold Starts are one of the big “FUD” areas of Serverless. and products like AWS Fargate have made this distinction murkier still.

In April 2017, Amazon Web Services announced that it would launch a new AWS infrastructure region Region in Sweden. Today, I'm happy to announce that the AWS Europe (Stockholm) Region, our 20th Region globally, is now generally available for use by customers.

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.

Here's some output from my zfsdist tool, in bcc/BPF, which measures ZFS latency as a histogram on Linux: # zfsdist. Tracing ZFS operation latency. But there's another factor at play: jobs are also migrating from both Solaris and Linux to cloud jobs instead, specifically AWS. Hit Ctrl-C to end. ^C

As we began growing the AWS business, we realized that external customers might find our Dynamo database just as useful as we found it within Amazon.com. So, we set out to build a fully hosted AWS database service based upon the original Dynamo design. million requests per second.

Estimated Input Latency tells us if we are hitting that threshold, and ideally, it should be below 50ms. Brotli is widely supported, and many CDNs support it ( Akamai , AWS , KeyCDN , Fastly , Cloudlare , CDN77 ) and you can enable Brotli even on CDNs that don’t support it yet (with a service worker). Bundle Buddy. Bundlephobia.
