The shift to cloud native design is transforming both software architecture and infrastructure and operations. Up until 2017, the ML+AI topic had been amongst the fastest growing topics on the platform. Still cloud-y, but with a possibility of migration. Coincidence? Probably not, but only time will tell.

Hardware virtualization for cloud computing has come a long way, improving performance using technologies such as VT-x, SR-IOV, VT-d, NVMe, and APICv. At Netflix, we've been using these technologies as they've been made available for instance types in the AWS EC2 cloud. The first was c3. Impressive! 0% performance overhead.

it’s increasingly becoming a core compute element within the larger Amazon cloud. Cloud9 is, at its most simple, a cloud hosted IDE. Serverless Aurora promises to be the SQL Database to partner with Lambda that we’ve been hoping for. First of all it’s fascinating to see how ubiquitous Lambda has become within AWS.

A Cassandra database cluster had switched to Ubuntu and noticed write latency increased by over 30%. top(1) showed that only the Cassandra database was consuming CPU. That chance encounter, coupled with the Netflix's fault-tolerant cloud, gave me enough confidence to suggest trying tsc in production as a workaround for the issue.

A silver lining on this dark cloud is that mobile JavaScript payload growth paused in 2020. The Moto G4 , for example. How soon will low-end and middle-tier phones be able to handle such chonky payloads?

Depending on how much dynamic data you have, you might be able to "outsource" some part of the content to a static site generator , pushing it to a CDN and serving a static version from it, thus avoiding database requests. An interesting way of avoiding parsing costs is to use binary templates that Ember has introduced in 2017.
