HTTP/3: Performance Improvements (Part 2). HTTP/3: Performance Improvements (Part 2). In this second part, we will zoom in on the performance improvements that QUIC and HTTP/3 bring to the table for web-page loading. We will, however, also be somewhat skeptical of the impact we can expect from these new features in practice.

Nothing is impossible; however, the performances will be so impacted that each operation may take seconds instead of milliseconds or a fraction of it unless lifting some of the rules breaks the relational model. In the MySQL open source ecosystem, we have only two consolidated ways to perform sharding — Vitess and ProxySQL.

When I think of network speeds, I tend to rely on WebPageTest ’s traffic profiles: Traffic profiles to keep in mind on WebPageTest : ranging from Cable and DSL to 3G Slow and 2G. That night, you get a text from your carrier that you used a lot more data than you imagined (and definitely way more than you originally planned!).

If after the previous two parts — HTTP/3 history and core concepts and HTTP/3 performance features — you’re convinced that starting to use the new protocols is a good idea (and you should be!), HTTP/3 performance features. Note that there is an Apache Traffic Server implementation, though.).

Often they make it seem as if HTTP/3 is a revolution in performance, while it is really a more modest (yet still useful!) This is dangerous, because the new protocol will probably not be able to live up to these high expectations in practice. HTTP/3 performance features ( coming up soon! ). This is more in depth and technical.

When your website isn’t performing optimally, you risk not only your revenue but also your reputation as a trusted resource. Additionally, teams are measuring and tracking key business metrics – conversion rates, cart abandonment rates, customer lifetime value, revenue by traffic source, and so on.

In my last article , I suggested using the SaveData API to deliver a different, more performant, experience to users that expressed that desire. However, the above table is not actually representative of total traffic, and that’s another point to note about this data. Signals For Customizing Website User Experience. Barry Pollard.

SQL Performance

JUNE 10, 2020

That is, does SQL Server perform a substitution process whereby it converts the original nested code into one query that goes directly against the base tables? Recall that a relation’s body—being a set of tuples—by definition has no duplicates. And if so, is there a way to instruct SQL Server to avoid this unnesting process?
