Modern web applications rely heavily on Content Delivery Networks (CDNs) and 3rd-party integrations (for example, web analytics, tag managers, chat bots, A/B testing tools, ad providers, and more). This has been a best practice for a long time, and some still see it as the best option. Stay tuned for Part 2.

It’s important to note that recommended throughput levels may vary depending on factors such as operating system type, network bandwidth availability, and hardware quality. A higher value for this metric can indicate issues on the master/slave or some network problems. It could also indicate a potential issue, say, an expensive query.

In certain scenarios exactly-once semantics is possible but the best you can do is at-least-once or at-most-once. If tuned for performance, there is a good change reliability is compromised - and vice versa. For a telecom company, the ability to monitor network congestion and failures is part of their core value proposition.

Promoting the replica cluster is the fastest way to return the database to availability, but it can involve some data loss because the replica cluster receives changes asynchronously from the master cluster, and will lag behind, typically by some fraction of a second, depending on the geographic distance and network capacity.

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. This series is divided into three parts: HTTP/3 history and core concepts.

We will, however, also be somewhat skeptical of the impact we can expect from these new features in practice. As we will see, QUIC and HTTP/3 indeed have great web performance potential, but mainly for users on slow networks. As such, even low latencies of less than 50 milliseconds can add up to considerable delays. Congestion Control.

It also, however, takes a full network round trip to complete before anything else can be done on a connection. Finally, QUIC also uses so-called flow-control and congestion-control mechanisms that prevent a sender from overloading the network or the receiver, but that also make TCP slower than what you could do with raw UDP.
