This blog series will examine the tools, techniques, and strategies we have utilized to achieve this goal. In this testing strategy, we execute a copy (replay) of production traffic against a system’s existing and new versions to perform relevant validations. This approach has a handful of benefits.

Over the course of this post, we will talk about our approach to this migration, the strategies that we employed, and the tools we built to support this. 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.

In this post, we compare ScaleGrid’s Bring Your Own Cloud (BYOC) plan vs. the standard Dedicated Hosting model to help you determine the best strategy for your MySQL, PostgreSQL, Redis™ and MongoDB® database deployment. Deploying your application and database on the same VPC also provides the lowest possible latency path. No problem.

With all of this in mind, I thought improving the speed of my own version of a slow site would be a fun exercise. In that spirit, what we’re looking at in this article is focused more on the incremental wins and less on providing an exhaustive list or checklist of performance strategies. Compressing, minifying and caching assets.

1:18pm a key observation was made that an API call to populate the homepage sidebar saw a huge jump in latency. The process tracing exercise included: Examning IRC transcripts from multiple channels. Members of the team begin diagnosing the issue using the #sysops and #warroom internal IRC channels.

Sharing is caring caching. Taiji’s routing table is a materialized representation of how user traffic at various edge nodes ought to be distributed over available data centers to balance data center utilization and minimize latency. For example, balance utilisation across all data centers, or optimise for network latency.

Performant – DynamoDB consistently delivers single-digit millisecond latencies even as your traffic volume increases. DynamoDB automatically re-distributes your data to healthy servers to ensure there are always multiple replicas of your data without you needing to intervene. Auto Scaling is on by default for all new tables and indexes.
