I think that the structure of the system in terms of functionality distributed across a network of lambda functions, microservices, caches, databases and external services is going to determine the number and position of each peak.

Today, this makes concurrency more important than ever, because it delivers two things: It hides latencies we have to deal with and cannot remove, from disk I/O latency to speed-of-light network latency; and it makes our code responsive by not introducing needless latencies of our own even when we’re not hiding someone else’s latency.

The Morning Paper

DECEMBER 8, 2019

At the start of November I was privileged to attend HPTS (the High Performance Transaction Systems) conference in Asilomar. On the last morning of the conference Daniel Bittman presented some of the work being done in the context of the Twizzler OS project to explore new programming models for NVM. The Twizzler programming model.

The Morning Paper

SEPTEMBER 19, 2019

There were so many interesting papers at the conference this year though that I haven’t been able to cover nearly as many as I would like. On one of the themes that captures my imagination, how changing hardware platform influence system design: Rethinking database high availability with RDMA networks.

And while there are already numerous conferences, videos, and evangelists for PWAs, there's less focus on testing and tracking the performance of PWAs. SpeedCurve is built on top of WebPageTest , so we use its scripting language to load the PWA while online, and then load it again without any network access. navigate [link].

As we will see, QUIC and HTTP/3 indeed have great web performance potential, but mainly for users on slow networks. If your average visitor is on a fast cabled or cellular network, they probably won’t benefit from the new protocols all that much. An often used metaphor is that of a pipe used to transport water.

BPF has been extended (aka eBPF) in recent years for providing a safe way to extend kernel functionality, and has become a hot topic in systems engineering, with at least 24 talks on BPF at the last Linux Plumber's conference. There are often two modes, one for device cache hits and one for cache misses, which can be shown by this tool.

But the other thing here, there is this real pressure, as you mentioned in the industry to always keep up to date with all these new technologies, in large part because people who develop these technologies and people who work at the big companies are the ones who get invited to speak at conferences and talk about all the cool things they’ve built.
