Before you begin tuning your website or application, you must first figure out which metrics matter most to your users and establish some achievable benchmarks. In the context of web development, performance testing entails using software tools to simulate how an application runs under specific circumstances.

Synthetic monitoring vendors provide a remote (often global) infrastructure that visits a website periodically and records the performance data for each run. As a result, users can identify latency and downtime promptly, and they can then scientifically isolate and diagnose the root cause of any performance issues that may arise.

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.

This reduction in latency ensures that applications and websites provide a more rapid and responsive user experience. This not only enhances performance but also enables you to make more efficient use of your hardware resources, potentially resulting in cost savings on infrastructure. This does not apply to read (SELECT) traffic.

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.

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.

Speedtest.net's data for India shows dramatic gains, for example , and analysts credit this to improved infrastructure density, expanded spectrum, and back-haul improvements related to the 5G rollout — all of which is to say that 4G users are getting better experiences than they did last year because of 5G's role in reducing contention.

We have spent a great deal of time at ScaleOut Software re-architecting our in-memory data grid (IMDG)’s code base to make best use of many cores and large memory. Likewise, object access paths must be heavily multi-threaded and avoid lock contention to minimize access latency and maximize throughput. Testing Scale-Up Performance.

Estimated Input Latency tells us if we are hitting that threshold, and ideally, it should be below 50ms. Designed for the modern web, it responds to actual congestion, rather than packet loss like TCP does, it is significantly faster , with higher throughput and lower latency — and the algorithm works differently.
