It increases our visibility and enables us to draw a steady stream of organic (or “free”) traffic to our site. While paid marketing strategies like Google Ads play a part in our approach as well, enhancing our organic traffic remains a major priority. The higher our organic traffic, the more profitable we become as a company.

Dataset propagation At Netflix we use an in-house dataset pub/sub system called Gutenberg. Often the data is held in memory by consumers and used as a “total cache”, where it is accessed at runtime by client code and atomically swapped out under the hood. Gutenberg allows for propagating versioned datasets ?—?consumers

With these requirements in mind, and a willingness to question the status quo, a small group of distributed systems experts came together and designed a horizontally scalable distributed database that would scale out for both reads and writes to meet the long-term needs of our business. This was the genesis of the Amazon Dynamo database.

The third wing of the architecture piece is the “domain specific system-on-chip.” That means multiple data indirections mean multiple cache misses. tef : You can use a message broker to glue systems together, but never use one to cut systems apart. They are very expensive. This is where your performance goes.

Redis's microsecond latency has made it a de facto choice for caching. Four years ago, as part of our AWS fast data journey, we introduced Amazon ElastiCache for Redis , a fully managed, in-memory data store that operates at microsecond latency. The system is more robust. We have also made other enhancements along the way.
