Many critiques are possible, both of the target (five seconds for first load), the sample population (worldwide internet users), and of the methodology (informed reckons). Emerging markets with high mobile internet use and dense populations can feature poor fixed-line broadband penetration compared with Western markets. In the U.S.,

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). Where VoltDB fits. Very Well!”

Once inside the function, there's nothing wrong with multi-threading to do the work as efficiently as possible. Matthew Dillon : This is *very* impressive efficiency. This is *very* impressive efficiency. @sapessi : Lambda simplifies concurrency at the frontend, enforcing one event per function at a time. Just a few more quotes.
