As organizations adopt microservices-based architecture , service-level objectives (SLOs) have become a vital way for teams to set specific, measurable targets that ensure users are receiving agreed-upon service levels. You can set SLOs based on individual indicators, such as batch throughput, request latency, and failures-per-second.

those resources now belong to cloud providers, such as AWS Lambda, Google Cloud Platform, Microsoft Azure, and others. In serverless architecture, when applications are developed, they are typically composed of many different services. Other benefits to serverless architecture include the following: Cost. Response Times.

Making queries to an inference engine has many of the same throughput, latency, and cost considerations as making queries to a datastore, and more and more applications are coming to depend on such queries. The following figure highlights how just one of these variables, batch size, impacts throughput and latency on ResNet50.

As an example, cloud-based post-production editing and collaboration pipelines demand a complex set of functionalities, including the generation and hosting of high quality proxy content. Uploading and downloading data always come with a penalty, namely latency. Supporting those workflows poses new challenges to our packaging service.

These nodes and edges require a good amount of compute and storage which is typically distributed across a large number servers either running in the cloud or your own data center. If tuned for performance, there is a good change reliability is compromised - and vice versa. In a nutshell, a data pipeline is a distributed system.

Considerations for setting the architectural foundations for a fast data platform. Google was among the pioneers that created “web scale” architectures to analyze the massive data sets that resulted from “crawling” the web that gave birth to Apache Hadoop, MapReduce, and NoSQL databases.

You might imagine that at some point we had a major scaling crises, where it looked like we'd fail due to an architectural bottleneck, and engineers worked long nights and weekends to save Netflix from certain disaster. A latency outlier issue that happened every 15 minutes. That'd make a great story, but it didn't happen.

This architecture shift greatly reduced the processing latency and increased system resiliency. We expanded pipeline support to serve our studio/content-development use cases, which had different latency and resiliency requirements as compared to the traditional streaming use case. divide the input video into small chunks 2.

A brief history of IPC at Netflix Netflix was early to the cloud, particularly for large-scale companies: we began the migration in 2008, and by 2010, Netflix streaming was fully run on AWS. Today we have a wealth of tools, both OSS and commercial, all designed for cloud-native environments.

It supports both high throughput services that consume hundreds of thousands of CPUs at a time, and latency-sensitive workloads where humans are waiting for the results of a computation. The subsystems all communicate with each other asynchronously via Timestone, a high-scale, low-latency priority queuing system.

Failure can occur due to a myriad of reasons: misbehaving clients that trigger a retry storm, an under-scaled service in the backend, a bad deployment, a network blip, or issues with the cloud provider. Those two metrics are approximate indicators of failures and latency.

Though the AWS Cloud gives you access to the storage and processing power required for ML, the process for building, training, and deploying ML models has unique challenges that often block successful use of this powerful new technology. Finally, one of the best aspects of Amazon SageMaker is its modular architecture.

We launched DynamoDB last year to address the need for a cloud database that provides seamless scalability, irrespective of whether you are doing ten transactions or ten million transactions, while providing rock solid durability and availability. Now you can run queries on any item attributes (columns) in your DynamoDB table.
