In total, there were 112 such incidents over the period March – September 2018 (not all of them affecting external customers). Most Azure code is written in.Net managed languages such as C#, reducing memory leak bugs. Tools like CHESS and PCT [[link] are used to expose shared-memory concurrency bugs.

Memory might be durable, but… …it is expected that caches and registers will remain volatile. Plus ça change, plus c’est la même chose. So, we’re going to need to take care that everything we say is committed is truly durable, and that we can recover to a consistent state following a crash.

The M/M/1 queue will show us a required trade-off among (a) allowing unscheduled task arrivals, (b) minimizing latency, and (c) maximizing throughput. For the previous cache miss buffer example, the 32-buffer answer is minimal for 100-ns average miss latency. While Little’s Law provides a black-box result, it does not expose tradeoffs.

First and foremost, this allows you to implement arbitrarily complex caching behavior, but it has also been extended to let you tap into long-running background fetches, push notifications, and other functionality that requires code to run without an associated page.

In a previous post , we described how our TV application consists of a C++ SDK installed natively on the device, an updatable JavaScript user interface (UI) layer, and a custom rendering layer known as Gibbon. Our UI runs on top of a custom rendering engine which uses what we call a “surface cache” to optimize our use of graphics memory.

Aurora Parallel Query response time (for queries which can not use indexes) can be 5x-10x better compared to the non-parallel fully cached operations. The second and third run used the cached data. It does not use any cache (ie: innodb buffer pool) either. This query is 100% cached. Test data and versions.

This approach was touted to be better for fine-grained caching because each subresource could be cached individually and the full bundle didn’t need to be redownloaded if one of them changed. Upon receipt of a valid Alt-Svc header indicating HTTP/3 support, the browser will cache this and try to set up a QUIC connection from then on.
