How many buffers are needed to track pending requests as a function of needed bandwidth and expected latency? Can one both minimize latency and maximize throughput for unscheduled work? 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.

With Helsinki being the capital and most populous municipality of Finland, it makes for a great edge server location. Although both countries are relatively close to one another, they are separated by a distance of approximately 500km, which adds up in terms of latency.

As data centers and volumes of servers have grown, so has the overall amount of electricity consumed around the world. Electricity used by servers doubled between 2000 and 2005 (and has continued growing ever since) from 12 billion to 23 billion kilowatt hours. Server Power Consumption (Source: Intel Labs 2008).

Is it worth exploring tree-shaking, scope hoisting, code-splitting, and all the fancy loading patterns with intersection observer, server push, clients hints, HTTP/2, service workers and — oh my — edge workers? It used to provide an insight into how quickly the server outputs any data. What does it mean?

Long FMP usually indicates JavaScript blocking the main thread, but could be related to back-end/server issues as well.

A then-representative $200USD device had 4-8 slow (in-order, low-cache) cores, ~2GiB of RAM, and relatively slow MLC NAND flash storage. India became a 4G-centric market sometime in 2018. Sadly, data on latency is harder to get, even from Google's perch, so progress there is somewhat more difficult to judge.

KeyCDN’s Cache Enabler plugin is fully compatible the HTML attributes that make images responsive. The main reason is because it decreases the latency to the user where they are located by serving your images from a POP physically closest to them. The Cache Enabler plugin then delivers WebP images based to supported browsers.

Late-loading JavaScript can cause “server-side rendered” pages to fail in infuriating ways. The server sends it as a stream of bytes and when the browser encounters each of the sub-resources referenced in the document, it requests them. For a timely introduction, I recommended Kevin Schaaf’s recent talk.

That means multiple data indirections mean multiple cache misses. Mark LaPedus : MRAM, a next-generation memory type, is being touted as a replacement for embedded flash and cache applications. It also works well to justify an acquisition of more servers to investors. They are very expensive. This is where your performance goes.

This way, log event processing can resume event-by-event afterwards, eventually discovering the watermarks, without ever needing to cache log event entries. 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.

Next, we’ll look at how to set up servers and clients (that’s the hard part unless you’re using a content delivery network (CDN)). This difference by itself doesn’t do all that much (it mainly reduces the overhead on the server-side), but it leads to most of the following points. Server Sharding and Connection Coalescing.
