In particular, he talked about the misattribution potential in a complex microservice architecture where often intermediary results are cached. For example, a ranking team would ingest live user traffic and subject it to a number of ranking configurations and simulate the event outcomes using predictive models running on canary rankers.

Key Takeaways Redis offers complex data structures and additional features for versatile data handling, while Memcached excels in simplicity with a fast, multi-threaded architecture for basic caching needs. Redis is better suited for complex data models, and Memcached is better suited for high-throughput, string-based caching scenarios.

Gael Metais suggested to more aggressively subset web fonts and look into caching issues with our AVIF files. If a browser doesn’t support AVIF, it gets a JPEG file (properly cached), The content negotiation happens via <picture> + srcset in the browser. The next day we subset the fonts and pushed them live.

When they dug into the data, they found that the reason load times had increased was that they got a lot more traffic from Africa after doing the optimizations.

I was a little restricted in my thinking the first time around and I’ve come to see FaaS as something not quite stateless, since caching state in a Lambda instance that might stick around for 5 hours is a perfectly reasonable idea. Also there’s been a lot of open source updates, including from Amazon and Microsoft.

In databases like MySQL and PostgreSQL, transaction logs are the source of CDC events. Therefore, dumps are needed to capture the full state of a source. There are several open source CDC projects, often using the same underlying libraries, database APIs, and protocols. Designed with High Availability in mind.

Redis , short for Remote Dictionary Server, is a BSD-licensed, open-source in-memory key-value data structure store written in C language by Salvatore Sanfillipo and was first released on May 10, 2009. Depending on how it is configured, Redis can act like a database, a cache or a message broker. Redis Strings Use Cases.

It increases our visibility and enables us to draw a steady stream of organic (or “free”) traffic to our site. While paid marketing strategies like Google Ads play a part in our approach as well, enhancing our organic traffic remains a major priority. The higher our organic traffic, the more profitable we become as a company.

Defining high availability In general terms, high availability refers to the continuous operation of a system with little to no interruption to end users in the event of hardware or software failures, power outages, or other disruptions. Load balancers can detect when a component is not responding and put traffic redirection in motion.
