How to use Server Timing to get backend transparency from your CDN

Speed Curve

Charlie Vazac introduced server timing in a Performance Calendar post circa 2018. Caching the base page/HTML is common, and it should have a positive impact on backend times. Key things to understand from your CDN Cache Hit/Cache Miss – Was the resource served from the edge, or did the request have to go to origin?

Analyzing a High Rate of Paging

1072-aws (xxx) 12/18/2018 _x86_64_ (16 CPU) avg-cpu: %user %nice %system %iowait %steal %idle 5.03 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.

Three Other Models of Computer System Performance: Part 1

ACM Sigarch

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.).

Three Other Models of Computer System Performance: Part 2

ACM Sigarch

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 ?.

DBLog: A Generic Change-Data-Capture Framework

The Netflix TechBlog

Requirements In a previous blog post, we discussed Delta , a data enrichment and synchronization platform. In our Delta blog post , we also described use cases beyond data synchronization, such as event processing. Supports any kind of output , so that the output can be a stream, datastore, or even an API. Schema store integration.

Service Workers can save the environment!

Dean Hume

Without effective caching on the client, the server will see an increase in workload, more CPU usage and ultimately increased latency for the end user. They allow you to cache resources on the user's device when they visit your site for the first time. CPU Utilization and Power Consumption (Source: Blackburn 2008).
