Last week we learned about the [increased tail-latency sensitivity of microservices based applications with high RPC fan-outs. Seer uses estimates of queue depths to mitigate latency spikes on the order of 10-100ms, in conjunction with a cluster manager. So what we have here is a glimpse of the limits for low-latency RPCs under load.

TL;DR: performance budgets are an essential but under-appreciated part of product success and team health. Nobody is trying to do a poor job, and yet the results of a “completed” PWA project often require weeks or months of painstaking rework to deliver minimally acceptable performance. Partner meetings are illuminating.

It is the premier tool in the toolbox of web performance people. Anything WebPageTest can do is available in the API. I’m willing to bet you know WebPageTest. An amazing achievement, to be sure, but it also feels good to me that WebPageTest is now owned by Catchpoint with Patrick being there himself on the project.
