The Morning Paper

JULY 7, 2019

Previously on The Morning Paper we’ve looked at the spread of machine learning through Facebook and Google and some of the lessons learned together with processes and tools to address the challenges arising. Learnings and emerging best practices. Software engineering for machine learning: a case study Amershi et al.,

latency, startup, mocking, etc.) We expect these testing issues to mostly resolve as serverless gains traction and new engineering practices that make testing easier emerge. Deploying containerized services on serverless architectures and orchestrating those services with Kubernetes fits into existing DeOps practices.

Estimated Input Latency tells us if we are hitting that threshold, and ideally, it should be below 50ms. From Fast By Default: Modern loading best practices by Addy Osmani (Slide 19).

Estimated Input Latency tells us if we are hitting that threshold, and ideally, it should be below 50ms. For high-pressure points like animation, it’s best to do nothing else where you can and the absolute minimum where you can't.

Because we are dealing with network protocols here, we will mainly look at network aspects, of which two are most important: latency and bandwidth. Latency can be roughly defined as the time it takes to send a packet from point A (say, the client) to point B (the server). Two-way latency is often called round-trip time (RTT).

You’ve probably heard things like: “HTTP/3 is much faster than HTTP/2 when there is packet loss”, or “HTTP/3 connections have less latency and take less time to set up”, and probably “HTTP/3 can send data more quickly and can send more resources in parallel”. IETF’s QUIC is technically very different from Google’s QUIC.

CDN servers are often located closer to users than origin servers and can have a shorter round-trip times (RTT), improving network latency. Lighthouse-best practices audit now considers that AVIF image compression can bring significant improvements. AVIF contributors at Google have also reported some nice performance gains.
