As such, fault tolerance is more expensive to implement because it requires dedicated infrastructure that completely mirrors the primary system. Load balancing : Traffic is distributed across multiple servers to prevent any one component from becoming overloaded. Some disruption might occur, but it will be minimal.

Load balancing: Traffic is distributed across multiple servers to prevent any one component from becoming overloaded. Load balancers can detect when a component is not responding and put traffic redirection in motion. Without enough infrastructure (physical or virtualized servers, networking, etc.),

Thanks to progress in networks and browsers (but not devices), a more generous global budget cap has emerged for sites constructed the "modern" way: ~100KiB of HTML/CSS/fonts and ~300-350KiB of JS (compressed) is the new rule-of-thumb limit for at least the next year or two. Modern network performance and availability.

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. Just because everything works perfectly during production testing doesn’t mean that will be the case when your website is flooded with traffic.

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.

Synthetic monitoring vendors provide a remote (often global) infrastructure that visits a website periodically and records the performance data for each run. The measured traffic is not of your actual users; it is synthetically generated to collect data on page performance. Benchmark Against Competitors. Synthetic Monitoring.

Can you test with 3G, 4G, or different networking connections? One of the key strengths of synthetic monitoring solutions is that they can help you assess the performance and user experience (UX) of a site without requiring large volumes of real users driving traffic, a known weakness RUM or APM solutions. Can you specify the location?

Reduced network and device capacity correlate with other access challenges. Folks with powerful laptops, new iPhones, and low-latency networks are noticing, which is a very bad sign.
