Key Takeaways Distributed storage systems benefit organizations by enhancing data availability, fault tolerance, and system scalability, leading to cost savings from reduced hardware needs, energy consumption, and personnel. Variations within these storage systems are called distributed file systems.

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. M-CDN enables enacting a failover strategy with additional CDN providers that have not been impacted.

DLVs are particularly advantageous for databases with large allocated storage, high I/O per second (IOPS) requirements, or latency-sensitive workloads. Overall, adopting this practice promotes a structured and efficient storage strategy, fostering better performance, manageability, and, ultimately, a more robust database environment.

Historically, NoSQL paid a lot of attention to tradeoffs between consistency, fault-tolerance and performance to serve geographically distributed systems, low-latency or highly available applications. However, consistency is a very expensive thing in distributed systems, so it can be traded not only to availability. Consistency.

Also, if you are not using a content delivery network (CDN) or multiple CDNs to map users to the closest edge regions for reduced latencies — a practice called suboptimal routing — you might slow down the start of the video. And of course, you need to host and deliver your images. There are also other options available.

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. What's the problem?

Finally, not inlining resources has an added latency cost because the file needs to be requested. All of this is, of course, still true for HTTP/3 as well.
