Defining high availability In general terms, high availability refers to the continuous operation of a system with little to no interruption to end users in the event of hardware or software failures, power outages, or other disruptions. How does high availability work? Redundancy is also critical for disaster recovery.

TL;DR: performance budgets are an essential but under-appreciated part of product success and team health. We constrain ourselves to a real-world baseline device + network configuration to measure progress. Performance budgets are set early in the life of the project. Budgets are scaled to a benchmark network & device.

Over the last decade, flagship processors from Intel and AMD have been eking out only marginal cross-generational single threaded (ST) performance gains. Instead, the focus has been on boosting aggregate performance by increasing core count. The coupling of these two factors have led to the aforementioned stagnation of ST performance.
