This blog article will examine shared attributes of high availability (HA) and fault tolerance (FT). Load balancing: Traffic is distributed across multiple servers to prevent any one component from becoming overloaded. Load balancers can detect when a component is not responding and put traffic redirection in motion.

I remember reading articles about how 3G connectivity was going to transform performance and, more generally, the way we used the internet altogether. Once a new network does get rolled out, it takes years for carriers to optimize it to try and close in on the promised bandwidth and latency benchmarks.

Budgets are scaled to a benchmark network & device. Deciding what benchmark to use for a performance budget is crucial. Contended, over-subscribed cells can make “fast” networks brutally slow, transport variance can make TCP much less efficient , and the bursty nature of web traffic works against us.
