Key Takeaways Redis offers complex data structures and additional features for versatile data handling, while Memcached excels in simplicity with a fast, multi-threaded architecture for basic caching needs. Introduction Caching serves a dual purpose in web development – speeding up client requests and reducing server load.

For retail organizations, peak traffic can be a mixed blessing. While high-volume traffic often boosts sales, it can also compromise uptimes. Five-nines availability: The ultimate benchmark of system availability. The nirvana state of system uptime at peak loads is known as “five-nines availability.”

The focus of most published research in architecture is on applications implemented in high-performance, “ close-to-the-metal” languages essentially developed before computers got fast. I suggest it’s long past time to move beyond C and SPEC benchmarks and our exclusive focus on “metal” languages.

This includes all architectures, all compilers, all operating systems, and all system configurations. To show that I can criticize my own work as well, here I show that sustained memory bandwidth (using an approximation to the STREAM Benchmark ) is also inadequate as a single figure of metric. (It

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. Is this an anomaly or are we dealing with a pattern?

Using a global ASP as a benchmark can further mislead thanks to the distorting effect of ultra-high-end prices rising while shipment volumes stagnate. Recall that single-core performance most directly translates into speed on the web. Today, either method returns a similar answer. Tap for a larger version. How bad is it?

An opening scene involving a traffic jam of Viking boats and a musical number (“Love Can’t Afjord to wait”). 5G expects a latency of 1ms , which considering that the speed of light means the data center can’t be more than 186 miles away, or 93 miles for a round trip, assuming an instant response. Vikings fight zombies.
