Generally to cache data (including non-persistent data that never sees a backing store), to share non-persistent data across application services (e.g. ” Even re-reading that today, the letter of the law there is surprisingly strict to me: you can use the local memory space or filesystem as a brief single transaction cache, but no more.

The paper examines the implications of microservices at the hardware, OS and networking stack, cluster management, and application framework levels, as well as the impact of tail latency. Smaller microservices demonstrated much better instruction-cache locality than their monolithic counterparts. Hardware implications.

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.

As I have talked about before, one of the reasons why we built Amazon DynamoDB was that Amazon was pushing the limits of what was a leading commercial database at the time and we were unable to sustain the availability, scalability, and performance needs that our growing Amazon.com business demanded. The opposite is true.

Using CDN for the whole website, you can offload most of the website traffic to your CDN which will handle not only large traffic spikes but also reduce the latency of content delivery. I am yet to find a traditional CMS vendor who can deliver this level of performance on the scale (millions of page views per day).

CloudFront makes a simple choice here as it offers direct integration with all these services to let you cache responses across its global edge locations. ‍You might keep introducing CDN-level features specific to CloudFront that significantly improve your application's performance.

For example, to reduce latency, serverless platforms try to reuse the same function instance to process multiple requests. Serverless functions are stateless , but can opportunistically reuse cached state across invocations to speed up start times. Lambda operational semantics. Don’t do that! What about external services.
