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. Bottlenecks can occur, for example, if you have a sudden surge in traffic that your servers are not equipped to handle. What is Performance Testing?

In this blog post, we will discuss the best practices on the MongoDB ecosystem applied at the Operating System (OS) and MongoDB levels. We’ll also go over some best practices for MongoDB security as well as MongoDB data modeling. The CFQ works well for many general use cases but lacks latency guarantees.

These nodes and edges require a good amount of compute and storage which is typically distributed across a large number servers either running in the cloud or your own data center. In certain scenarios exactly-once semantics is possible but the best you can do is at-least-once or at-most-once.

A Cassandra database cluster had switched to Ubuntu and noticed write latency increased by over 30%. This server is spending about a third of its CPU cycles just checking the time! I've shared many posts about superpower observability tools, but often humble hacking is just as effective. 30.14% in the middle of the flame graph.

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).

Next, we’ll look at how to set up servers and clients (that’s the hard part unless you’re using a content delivery network (CDN)). You would, however, be hard-pressed even today to find a good article that details the nuanced best practices. Server Sharding and Connection Coalescing. However, if you’re still on HTTP/1.1,

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”. Websites would magically become 50% faster with the flip of a switch!
