Netflix shares how Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling allows its infrastructure to automatically adapt to changing traffic patterns in order to keep its audience entertained and its costs on target. In this talk, we share how Netflix deploys systems to meet its demands, Ceph’s design for high availability, and results from our benchmarking.

Once a new network does get rolled out, it takes years for carriers to optimize it to try and close in on the promised bandwidth and latency benchmarks. There was all sorts of similar controversy when the first carriers started rolling out supposed 4G networks. We’re still nowhere close for 4G.

Last time around we looked at the DeathStarBench suite of microservices-based benchmark applications and learned that microservices systems can be especially latency sensitive, and that hotspots can propagate through a microservices architecture in interesting ways. on end-to-end latency) and less than 0.15% on throughput.

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.

These development and testing practices ensure the performance of critical applications and resources to deliver loyalty-building user experiences. RUM, however, has some limitations, including the following: RUM requires traffic to be useful. In some cases, you will lack benchmarking capabilities. RUM generates a lot of data.

This is a complex topic, but to borrow from a recent post , web performance expands access to information and services by reducing latency and variance across interactions in a session, with a particular focus on the tail of the distribution (P75+). Consistent performance matters just as much as low average latency.

Meanwhile, developer behaviour offers little hope: Median mobile JavaScript payloads have only grown since 2016, now hovering above 400KiB of script transferred, or nearly 2.5MiB of uncompressed JS. Compared to devices wealthy developers carry, the performance is night and (blinding) day. The Moto G7 very much looks the part.

One of the most surprising results has been the frequent occurrence of “ambush by JavaScript” : We need a new term for the business-opportunity wastage that modern front-end development has created. Budgets are scaled to a benchmark network & device. Deciding what benchmark to use for a performance budget is crucial.
