Dynatrace

NOVEMBER 28, 2022

Dynatrace is proud to be an AWS launch partner in support of Amazon Lambda SnapStart. The new Amazon capability enables customers to improve the startup latency of their functions from several seconds to as low as sub-second (up to 10 times faster) at P99 (the 99th latency percentile). What is Lambda?

The Morning Paper

FEBRUARY 6, 2020

Today’s paper choice is a fresh-from-the-arXivs take on serverless computing from the RISELab at Berkeley, addressing some of the limitations outlined in last year’s ‘ Berkeley view on serverless computing.’ A low-latency autoscaling KVS can serve as both global storage and a DHT-like overlay network.

Formal foundations of serverless computing Jangda et al., won a distinguished paper award at OOPSLA this year for their work on ‘Formal foundations of serverless computing.’ They show the conditions under which a serverless function can safely ignore these peculiarities, and thus become much simpler to reason about.

I started writing “ Serverless Architectures ” in May 2016. Fast forward to two years later and the article has had more than half a million visits, regularly appears in the top five Google search results for “Serverless”, and helped launched Symphonia ?—?my Serverless is a highly dynamic area and two years is a lifetime in this world.

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.

Which I’m quite happy to see as my most recent data pipeline is based around Lambda, S3, and Athena, and it’s been working great for my use case. For query executors that can be frequently started and stopped the authors explore performance with cold and warm caches (where applicable), and also the horizontal and vertical scaling 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.
