As developers, we rightfully obsess about the customer experience, relentlessly working to squeeze every millisecond out of the critical rendering path, optimize input latency, and eliminate jank. On top of this foundation, we add layers of caching, prerendering and edge delivery optimizations — not the other way around.

With Tel Aviv being the technology capital of Israel, it's the ideal edge server location. The image below shows a significant drop in latency once we've launched the new point of presence in Israel. In fact, latency has been reduced by almost 50%! Performance report Brisbane - Australia Brisbane is our 4th POP in Australia.

While it can occasionally be a specific server or even an application within a data center, it's predominantly the data center itself. If the content is readily available, the CDN delivers it straight away, negating the need to retrieve it from the origin server. Do you just give up the traffic trying to access it while you work on it?

Many of the newer features we have in SQL Server were initially launched in Azure SQL Database, including (but not limited to) Always Encrypted, Dynamic Data Masking, Row Level Security, and Query Store. There is a lot of awesome technology involved with Hyperscale in how it is architected to use SSD-based caches and page servers.

A co-worker introduced me to Craig Hanson and Pat Crain's performance mantras, which neatly summarize much of what we do in performance analysis and tuning. In some cases, a benchmark may appear to exceed network bandwidth because it returns from a local memory cache instead of the remote target. They are: **Performance mantras**.

All cache read misses and all writes go through UDB servers, with SQL queries being converted into RocksDB queries. For one representative UDB server, about 10.2 Per server, per day, an average of just over 700M queries for UDB, 420 million for ZippyDB, and 111 million for UP2X.

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).

Next, we’ll look at how to set up servers and clients (that’s the hard part unless you’re using a content delivery network (CDN)). This difference by itself doesn’t do all that much (it mainly reduces the overhead on the server-side), but it leads to most of the following points. Server Sharding and Connection Coalescing.

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.

You’ve probably heard things like: “HTTP/3 is much faster than HTTP/2 when there is packet loss”, or “HTTP/3 connections have less latency and take less time to set up”, and probably “HTTP/3 can send data more quickly and can send more resources in parallel”. Websites would magically become 50% faster with the flip of a switch!
