Introduction Caching serves a dual purpose in web development – speeding up client requests and reducing server load. Despite its advantages, Redis’s versatility can introduce complexities, potentially challenging developers familiar with simpler solutions such as Memcached.

In addition, such custom systems could only be benchmarked once they were deployed, so by the time multiple layers of management had each added a 50% safety margin to the initial SWAG , it was not unusual to see them running at 10% of capacity (but 150% of the lucky hardware salesman’s annual quota).

Telltale provides Edgar with latency benchmarks that indicate if the individual trace’s latency is abnormal for this given service. Telltale’s anomaly analysis looks at historic behavior and can evaluate whether the latency experienced by this trace is anomalous. Is this an anomaly or are we dealing with a pattern?

Sometimes developers only care about speed. Some will claim that any type of RPC communication ends up being faster (meaning it has lower latency) than any equivalent invocation using asynchronous messaging. There are more steps, so the increased latency is easily explained. But the answer isn’t that simple.

Consistent performance matters just as much as low average latency.

Many high-end disk subsystems provide high-speed cache facilities to reduce the latency of read and write operations. This allows the checkpoint process to maintain its speed while the random nature of the I/O requests deters any elevator seeking that could ​​ affect ​​ other I/O operations.
