Key Takeaways Distributed storage systems benefit organizations by enhancing data availability, fault tolerance, and system scalability, leading to cost savings from reduced hardware needs, energy consumption, and personnel. Variations within these storage systems are called distributed file systems.

CDNs cache content on edge servers distributed globally, reducing the distance between users and the content they want.‍CDNs use load-balancing techniques to distribute incoming traffic across multiple servers called Points of Presence (PoPs) which distribute content closer to end-users and improve overall performance.

Last week we looked at a function shipping solution to the problem; Cloudburst uses the more common data shipping to bring data to caches next to function runtimes (though you could also make a case that the scheduling algorithm placing function execution in locations where the data is cached a flavour of function-shipping too).

We realized that we needed to consider a more global and scalable solution to better serve our global audience. It also opens up the possibility for more effective use of caching strategies, potentially enhancing load times further. The shorter the TTFB, the better the perceived speed of the site from the user’s perspective.

After the launch of the AWS APAC (Hong Kong) Region, there will be 19 Availability Zones in Asia Pacific for customers to build flexible, scalable, secure, and highly available applications. This enables customers to serve content to their end users with low latency, giving them the best application experience.

A CDN (Content Delivery Network) is a network of geographically distributed servers that brings web content closer to where end users are located, to ensure high availability, optimized performance and low latency. When using a single CDN, the organization is dependent on the CDN provider’s geographical coverage and server infrastructure.

Typically, organizations build specialized infrastructure for each of these use cases. This, however, creates silos of data and processing, and results in a complex, expensive, and harder to maintain infrastructure. Oh, and in additional to low latency, “ we require access to fresh data.” Cache all the things.

Likewise, object access paths must be heavily multi-threaded and avoid lock contention to minimize access latency and maximize throughput. Given all this, we thought it would be a good opportunity to see how we are doing relative to the competition, and in particular, relative to Microsoft’s AppFabric caching for Windows on-premise servers.

Cons of logical backups As it reads all data, it can be slow and will require disk reads too for databases that are larger than the RAM available for the WT cache—the WT cache pressure increases, which slows down the performance. Hence, the node would still be available for other operations.

Estimated Input Latency tells us if we are hitting that threshold, and ideally, it should be below 50ms. Designed for the modern web, it responds to actual congestion, rather than packet loss like TCP does, it is significantly faster , with higher throughput and lower latency — and the algorithm works differently.

This way, log event processing can resume event-by-event afterwards, eventually discovering the watermarks, without ever needing to cache log event entries. Passive instances across regions are also possible, though it is recommended to operate in the same region as the database host in order to keep the change capture latencies low.
