Highly Scalable

SEPTEMBER 18, 2012

Historically, NoSQL paid a lot of attention to tradeoffs between consistency, fault-tolerance and performance to serve geographically distributed systems, low-latency or highly available applications. Read/Write latency. Read/Write requests are processes with a minimal latency. Data Placement. Read/Write scalability.

Statistical analysis and mining of huge multi-terabyte data sets is a common task nowadays, especially in the areas like web analytics and Internet advertising. Analysis of such large data sets often requires powerful distributed data stores like Hadoop and heavy data processing with techniques like MapReduce. Case Study.

Modern browsers like Chrome and Samsung Internet support a long list of features that make web apps more powerful and keep users safer. Here, native apps are doing work related to their core function; storage and tracking of user data are squarely within the four corners of the app's natural responsibilities. PWA Feature Detector.

In almost every area, Apple's low-quality implementation of features WebKit already supports requires workarounds not necessary for Firefox (Gecko) or Chrome/Edge/Brave/Samsung Internet (Blink). Chrome has missed several APIs for 3+ years: Storage Access API. This adds to the expense of developing for iOS. Converging Views.

Here's some output from my zfsdist tool, in bcc/BPF, which measures ZFS latency as a histogram on Linux: # zfsdist. Tracing ZFS operation latency. My rock solid experience with Ubuntu is on an LTS release. ## Crash Dump Analysis It can be done. Many new tools can now be written, and the main toolkit we're working on is [bcc].

AWS has been offering a range of storage solutions: objects, block storage, databases, archiving, etc. Amazon EFS is a fully-managed service that makes it easy to set up and scale shared file storage in the AWS Cloud. With Amazon EFS, there is no minimum fee or setup costs, and customers pay only for the storage they use.

We are increasingly seeing customers wanting to build Internet-scale applications that require diverse data models. Use cases such as gaming, ad tech, and IoT lend themselves particularly well to the key-value data model where the access patterns require low-latency Gets/Puts for known key values. Purpose-built databases.

Treo Sites provides competitive analysis based on real-world data. Estimated Input Latency tells us if we are hitting that threshold, and ideally, it should be below 50ms. To optimize storage interally, you could use Dropbox’s new Lepton format for losslessly compressing JPEGs by an average of 22%. Large preview ).

For example, the most fundamental abstraction trade-off has always been latency versus throughput. Modern CPUs strongly favor lower latency of operations with clock cycles in the nanoseconds and we have built general purpose software architectures that can exploit these low latencies very well. Where to go from here?
