Speedier access to stored information within distributed storage is achieved by leveraging software-defined storage solutions and strategies like sharding or distributing sections of large databases and improving scalability by dividing tasks among many servers.

We have spent a great deal of time at ScaleOut Software re-architecting our in-memory data grid (IMDG)’s code base to make best use of many cores and large memory. Likewise, object access paths must be heavily multi-threaded and avoid lock contention to minimize access latency and maximize throughput. Testing Scale-Up Performance.

Three 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 sub-millisecond latency. While caching continues to be a dominant use of ElastiCache for Redis, we see customers increasingly use it as an in-memory NoSQL database.

Given its unchanging nature, static content is ideal for caching. This type of traffic originates directly from the server, making it more challenging to handle due to latency and server load considerations; it’s hard but not impossible. It doesn’t change very often and is generally not affected by user sessions.

DNS is an absolutely critical piece of the internet infrastructure. There are two main types of DNS servers: authoritative servers and caching resolvers. But the real robustness of the DNS system comes through the way lookups are handled, which is what caching resolvers do. Authoritative servers hold the definitive mappings.

As a result, users can identify latency and downtime promptly, and they can then scientifically isolate and diagnose the root cause of any performance issues that may arise.

To mitigate the performance issues, we had to add a lot of (unbudgeted) extra servers and had to aggressively cache pages on a reverse proxy. It can be hosted on a CDN like Vercel or Netlify, which results in lower latency. It also contains infrastructure code, think of certain generic react hooks or GraphQL client code.
