Five-nines availability: Always-on infrastructure delivers system availability during the holidays’ peak loads

Dynatrace

Five-nines availability: The ultimate benchmark of system availability. For organizations running their own on-premises infrastructure, these costs can be prohibitive. Instead, to speed up response times, applications are now processing most data at the network’s perimeter, closest to the data’s origin.

Seer: leveraging big data to navigate the complexity of performance debugging in cloud microservices

The Morning Paper

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. When available, it can use hardware level performance counters.

High Availability vs. Fault Tolerance: Is FT’s 00.001% Edge in Uptime Worth the Headache?

Percona

Some of the most important elements include: No single point of failure (SPOF): You must eliminate any SPOF in the database environment, including any potential for an SPOF in physical or virtual hardware. Without enough infrastructure (physical or virtualized servers, networking, etc.), there cannot be high availability.

Progress Delayed Is Progress Denied

Alex Russell

As an engineer on a browser team, I'm privy to the blow-by-blow of various performance projects, benchmark fire drills, and the ways performance marketing (deeply) impacts engineering priorities. With each team, benchmarks lost are understood as bugs. All modern browsers are fast, Chromium and Safari/WebKit included. position: sticky.

Azure Virtual Machines for SQL Server Usage

SQL Performance

One initial, easy step to moving your SQL Server on-premises workloads to the cloud is using Azure VMs to run your SQL Server workloads in an infrastructure as a service (IaaS) scenario. BTW, the "i" in the Standard_E64is_v3 naming means that the instance is isolated to hardware dedicated to a single customer.
