For each route we migrated, we wanted to make sure we were not introducing any regressions: either in the form of missing (or worse, wrong) data, or by increasing the latency of each endpoint. Being able to canary a new route let us verify latency and error rates were within acceptable limits. This meant that data that was static (e.g.

It’s widely accepted that self-hosted fonts are the fastest option: same origin means reduced network negotiation, predictable URLs mean we can preload , self-hosted means we can set our own cache-control. On a high-latency connection, this spells bad news. That said, the convenience of a service like Google Fonts cannot be overstated.

Because microprocessors are so fast, computer architecture design has evolved towards adding various levels of caching between compute units and the main memory, in order to hide the latency of bringing the bits to the brains. This avoids thrashing caches too much for B and evens out the pressure on the L3 caches of the machine.
