those resources now belong to cloud providers, such as AWS Lambda, Google Cloud Platform, Microsoft Azure, and others. Again, the benefit being that the code within your containers or virtual machines is managed by the cloud provider. Scalability. The time it takes between an action and a response is latency.

It was – like the hypothetical movie I describe above – more than a little bit odd, as you could leave a session discussing ever more abstract layers of virtualization and walk into one where they emphasized the critical importance of pinning a network interface to a specific VM for optimal performance. The “Public Private Cloud” folks.

Build a more scalable, composable, and functional architecture for interconnecting systems and applications. WebServices, unfortunately, failed to deliver on the distributed systems front by having virtually all implementations using synchronous/blocking calls—which we all know is a recipe for scaling disaster.

Werner Vogels weblog on building scalable and robust distributed systems. a Fast and Scalable NoSQL Database Service Designed for Internet Scale Applications. The original Dynamo design was based on a core set of strong distributed systems principles resulting in an ultra-scalable and highly reliable database system.

In this role, I am leading a global team that works closely with our strategic partners such as AWS, Microsoft, Google, Pivotal, Red Hat and others. Lift & Shift is where you basically just move physical or virtual hosts to the cloud – essentially you just run your host on somebody else’s hardware.

The epoch of AWS is the launch of Amazon S3 on March 14, 2006, now almost 10 years ago. Looking back over the past 10 years, there are hundreds of lessons that we’ve learned about building and operating services that need to be secure, reliable, scalable, with predictable performance at the lowest possible cost.

As we prepared to launch these features, I was struck not only by the range of services we provide to enable customers to run fully managed, scalable, high performance database workloads, including Amazon RDS , Amazon DynamoDB , Amazon Redshift and Amazon ElastiCache , but also by the pace at which these services are evolving and improving.

We were pushing the limits of what was a leading commercial database at the time and were unable to sustain the availability, scalability and performance needs that our growing Amazon business demanded. So, we set out to build a fully hosted AWS database service based upon the original Dynamo design.

Relationships are a fundamental aspect of both the physical and virtual worlds. Modern applications need to quickly navigate connections in the physical world of people, cities, and public transit stations as well as the virtual world of search terms, social posts, and genetic code, for example. The importance of relationships.

Estimated Input Latency tells us if we are hitting that threshold, and ideally, it should be below 50ms. Designed for the modern web, it responds to actual congestion, rather than packet loss like TCP does, it is significantly faster , with higher throughput and lower latency — and the algorithm works differently.
