While this abundance of dashboards and information is by no means unique to Netflix, it certainly holds true within our microservices architecture. Edgar captures 100% of interesting traces , as opposed to sampling a small fixed percentage of traffic. The downside is that we have so many dashboards.

A CDN (Content Delivery Network) is a network of geographically distributed servers that brings web content closer to where end users are located, to ensure high availability, optimized performance and low latency. Organizations can select the most cost-effective option for each region or traffic type, reducing overall CDN expenses.4.

It increases our visibility and enables us to draw a steady stream of organic (or “free”) traffic to our site. While paid marketing strategies like Google Ads play a part in our approach as well, enhancing our organic traffic remains a major priority. The higher our organic traffic, the more profitable we become as a company.

This is a complex topic, but to borrow from a recent post , web performance expands access to information and services by reducing latency and variance across interactions in a session, with a particular focus on the tail of the distribution (P75+). Consistent performance matters just as much as low average latency.

Sadly, data on latency is harder to get, even from Google's perch, so progress there is somewhat more difficult to judge. CrUX data collection and first-party RUM analytics of these metrics require live traffic, meaning results can be predicted but only verified once deployed.

Meanwhile, on Android, the #2 and #3 sources of web traffic do not respect browser choice. On Android today and early iOS versions, WebViews allow embedders to observe and modify all network traffic (regardless of encryption). Users can have any browser with any engine they like, but it's unlikely to be used. How can that be?

To get accurate results and goals though, first study your analytics to see what your users are on. For Mac OS, we can use Network Link Conditioner , for Windows Windows Traffic Shaper , for Linux netem , and for FreeBSD dummynet. Estimated Input Latency tells us if we are hitting that threshold, and ideally, it should be below 50ms.
