Quite often "The Cloud" is portrayed as something magically transparent that lives somewhere in the internet. There are four main reasons to do so: Performance - For many applications and services, data access latency to end users is important. The new Singapore Region offers customers in APAC lower-latency access to AWS services.

I don’t advocate “Serverless Only”, and I recommended that if you need sustained high traffic, low latency and higher efficiency, then you should re-implement your rapid prototype as a continuously running autoscaled container, as part of a larger serverless event driven architecture, which is what they did. Finally, what were they building?

These vendors serve data center players and offer advanced options, such as ScaleGrid’s engine, which ensures that different elements work well together automatically, eliminating the need for manual effort in managing heterogeneous environments. This opens up possibilities not only difficult but almost impossible to attain conventionally!

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.

In just three short years, Amazon DynamoDB has emerged as the backbone for many powerful Internet applications such as AdRoll , Druva , DeviceScape , and Battlecamp. In traditional database architectures, database engines often run a small search engine or data warehouse engines on the same hardware as the database.

Within an organization, the responsibility of monitoring these large distributed systems typically falls on site reliability engineering (SRE) teams. For example, you can think of a cell phone network as a type of distributed system, consisting of a network of internet-connected devices that share resources workload. Peer-to-Peer.

Three years ago, as part of our AWS Fast Data journey we introduced Amazon ElastiCache for Redis , a fully managed in-memory data store that operates at sub-millisecond latency. This allows for faster failover times while minimizing latency. Building upon Redis. Redis and Fast Data.

The 85% global-share OS (Android) has historically facilitated browser choice and diversity in browser engines. Engine diversity is essential, as it is the mechanism that causes competition to deliver better performance, capability, privacy, security, and user controls. If so, it's a browser regardless of the underlying engine.

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?

Performance isn’t just a technical concern: it affects everything from accessibility to usability to search engine optimization, and when baking it into the workflow, design decisions have to be informed by their performance implications. Yet often, analytics alone doesn’t provide a complete picture.
