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.

Tim Bray : How to talk about [Serverless Latency] · To start with, don’t just say “I need 120ms.” And if you know someone with hearing problems they might find Live CC useful. 202,157 flights tracked! Whether it’s database or message queues it’s a really weird combo of licenses and features for hostage.

A typical example of modern "microservices-inspired" Java application would function along these lines: Netflix : We observed during experimentation that RAM random read latencies were rarely higher than 1 microsecond whereas typical SSD random read speeds are between 100–500 microseconds.

Run performance experiments and measure outcomes — both on mobile and on desktop (for example, with Google Analytics ). Globally in 2018–2019, according to the IDC, 87% of all shipped mobile phones are Android devices. Estimated Input Latency tells us if we are hitting that threshold, and ideally, it should be below 50ms.

Estimated Input Latency tells us if we are hitting that threshold, and ideally, it should be below 50ms. In 2015, Google introduced Brotli , a new open-source lossless data format, which is now supported in all modern browsers. In 2018, the Alliance of Open Media has released a new promising video format called AV1.

Our metrics at Google show a conflicted picture (which I’m working to get to clarity on). It simulates a link with a 400ms RTT and 400-600Kbps of throughput (plus latency variability and simulated packet loss). Simulated packet loss and variable latency, however, can make benchmarking extremely difficult and slow.

There are several emerging data trends that will define the future of ETL in 2018. In 2018, we anticipate that ETL will either lose relevance or the ETL process will disintegrate and be consumed by new data architectures. In contrast, Alluxio a middleware for data access - think Alluxio storage layer as fast cache.
