This allows the app to query a list of “paths” in each HTTP request, and get specially formatted JSON (jsonGraph) that we use to cache the data and hydrate the UI. Functional Testing Functional testing was the most straightforward of them all: a set of tests alongside each path exercised it against the old and new endpoints.

A vast majority of the features are the same, outside of these advanced features available through the BYOC model: Virtual Private Clouds / Virtual Networks. Amazon Virtual Private Clouds (VPC) and Azure Virtual Networks (VNET) are private, isolated sections of the cloud infrastructure where you can launch resources. Security Groups.

With all of this in mind, I thought improving the speed of my own version of a slow site would be a fun exercise. Redirects are often pretty light in terms of the latency that they add to a website, but they are an easy first thing to check, and they can generally be removed with little effort. Improvement #2: The Critical Render Path.

sounds like a homework exercise of purely academic value. I've refuted many benchmarks by showing that they would require a network throughput that would far exceed the maximum network bandwidth (off by, for example, as much as 10x!). Networking is the easiest to check. This is really asking "what's the limiter?"

The Morning Paper

It’s another networking paper to close out the week (and our coverage of SOSP’19), but whereas Snap looked at traffic routing within the datacenter, Taiji is concerned with routing traffic from the edge to a datacenter. Sharing is caring caching. For example, balance utilisation across all data centers, or optimise for network latency.

Therefore any programming abstraction must be low latency and the kernel needs to be kept off the path of persistent data access as much as possible. The beauty of persistent memory is that we can use memory layouts for persistent data (with some considerations for volatile caches etc. in front of that memory , as we saw last week).
