Replay Traffic Testing Replay traffic refers to production traffic that is cloned and forked over to a different path in the service call graph, allowing us to exercise new/updated systems in a manner that simulates actual production conditions. This approach has a handful of benefits.

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.

Deploying your application and database on the same VPC also provides the lowest possible latency path. This becomes really important for cache solutions like Redis™. AWS Security Groups and Azure Network Security Groups allow you to lock down access to your servers through advanced virtual firewalls. 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.

Redis's microsecond latency has made it a de facto choice for caching. Four years ago, as part of our AWS fast data journey, we introduced Amazon ElastiCache for Redis , a fully managed, in-memory data store that operates at microsecond latency. However, the slots must be moved manually on the server side.

sounds like a homework exercise of purely academic value. In some cases, a benchmark may appear to exceed network bandwidth because it returns from a local memory cache instead of the remote target. Once, during a proof of concept, a client reported that latency was unacceptably high for the benchmark: over one second for each request!
