My personal opinion is that I don't see a widespread need for more capacity given horizontal scaling and servers that can already exceed 1 Tbyte of DRAM; bandwidth is also helpful, but I'd be concerned about the increased latency for adding a hop to more memory. Ford, et al., “TCP

We push as much data processing as possible onto warehouse-scale computers and systems software. It’s limited by the laws of physics in terms of end-to-end latency. We saw earlier that there is end-user pressure to replace batch systems with much lower latency online systems. Emphasis mine ). Emphasis mine ).

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.

In addition, traditional CMS solutions lack integration with modern software stack, cloud services, and software delivery pipelines. Cost is one of the key reasons why most government organisations, mid to large sized business, and publisher prefer open source CMS options such as WordPress and Drupal.

The CFQ works well for many general use cases but lacks latency guarantees. The deadline excels at latency-sensitive use cases ( like databases ), and noop is closer to no schedule at all. Make sure the drives are mounted with noatime and also if the drives are behind a RAID controller with appropriate battery-backed cache.

Ceph is a widely-used, open-source distributed file system that followed this convention [of building on top of a local file system] for a decade. The storage backend is the software module directly managing the storage device attached to physical machines. BlueStore stores metadata in RocksDB to ensure fast metadata operations.

Because we are dealing with network protocols here, we will mainly look at network aspects, of which two are most important: latency and bandwidth. Latency can be roughly defined as the time it takes to send a packet from point A (say, the client) to point B (the server). Two-way latency is often called round-trip time (RTT).

This approach was touted to be better for fine-grained caching because each subresource could be cached individually and the full bundle didn’t need to be redownloaded if one of them changed. Finally, not inlining resources has an added latency cost because the file needs to be requested. Large preview ).

I was a little restricted in my thinking the first time around and I’ve come to see FaaS as something not quite stateless, since caching state in a Lambda instance that might stick around for 5 hours is a perfectly reasonable idea. I also rewrote the section on Startup Latency since Cold Starts are one of the big “FUD” areas of Serverless.
